Off the line, the I-PACE EV400 hits 100 km/h in 4.84 s versus 5.05 s for the Model Y Long Range AWD. At this point, the I-PACE EV400 leads by 0.21 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the I-PACE EV400 is doing 141 km/h against 143 km/h for the Model Y Long Range AWD. The gap is 0.16 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the I-PACE EV400 crosses the line in 13.18 s versus 13.27 s. The 0.08 s gap represents roughly 4 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The I-PACE EV400 maxes out at 200 km/h while the Model Y Long Range AWD keeps accelerating towards 217 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.00 s.
Around 602 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the Model Y Long Range AWD overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 17 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the Model Y Long Range AWD finishes in 23.97 s versus 24.36 s. The 0.39 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the I-PACE EV400 is capped at 200 km/h, the Model Y Long Range AWD at 217 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 (5.52 kg/hp vs 5.22 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.41 seconds. The 0.21 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
