Off the line, the F-PACE P400e hits 100 km/h in 5.37 s versus 8.51 s for the G9. At this point, the F-PACE P400e leads by 3.14 s and sits roughly 31 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the F-PACE P400e is doing 137 km/h against 120 km/h for the G9. The gap is 2.07 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the F-PACE P400e crosses the line in 13.60 s versus 16.32 s. The 2.72 s gap represents roughly 108 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the F-PACE P400e continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 191 km/h versus 169 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F-PACE P400e finishes in 24.60 s versus 28.71 s, with a 4.11 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the F-PACE P400e is capped at 220 km/h, the G9 at 200 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 plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.55 kg/hp vs 7.18 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.63 seconds. The 3.14 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, F-PACE P400e wins (5,37 s vs 8,51 s).
F-PACE P400e goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,37 seconds (calibrated simulation).
