Off the line, the Countryman E FWD hits 100 km/h in 7.28 s versus 7.76 s for the e:Ny1. At this point, the Countryman E FWD leads by 0.48 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Countryman E FWD is doing 121 km/h against 122 km/h for the e:Ny1. The gap is 0.41 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Countryman E FWD crosses the line in 15.47 s versus 15.82 s. The 0.35 s gap represents roughly 14 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Countryman E FWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 162 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Countryman E FWD finishes in 28.65 s versus 29.40 s, with a 0.76 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (170 vs 160 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Countryman E FWD is capped at 170 km/h, the e:Ny1 at 160 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit - it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (8.92 kg/hp vs 8.34 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.83 seconds. The 0.48 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Countryman E FWD wins (7,28 s vs 7,76 s).
Countryman E FWD goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 7,28 seconds (calibrated simulation).
