Off the line, the SQ2 hits 100 km/h in 4.94 s versus 5.37 s for the F-PACE P400e. Despite lacking instant torque, 300 hp of power compensates. At this point, the SQ2 leads by 0.43 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the SQ2 is doing 133 km/h against 137 km/h for the F-PACE P400e. The gap is 0.21 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the SQ2 crosses the line in 13.47 s versus 13.60 s. The 0.13 s gap represents roughly 6 m of track — barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The F-PACE P400e maxes out at 220 km/h while the SQ2 keeps accelerating towards 257 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.10 s.
At 1,000 metres, the SQ2 finishes in 24.55 s versus 24.60 s, with just 0.05 s to spare. The F-PACE P400e fails to fully close the launch gap.
Electronically capped at 220 km/h, the F-PACE P400e never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor — it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.36 seconds. The 0.43 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
