Off the line, the Compass 4xe hits 100 km/h in 7.58 s versus 8.92 s for the 600e 156. At this point, the Compass 4xe leads by 1.34 s and sits roughly 25 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Compass 4xe is doing 116 km/h against 115 km/h for the 600e 156. The gap is 1.02 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Compass 4xe crosses the line in 15.62 s versus 16.73 s. The 1.11 s gap represents roughly 43 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Compass 4xe continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 159 km/h versus 150 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Compass 4xe finishes in 28.87 s versus 31.23 s, with a 2.35 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Compass 4xe is capped at 200 km/h, the 600e 156 at 150 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 (9.56 kg/hp vs 10.06 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.15 seconds. The 1.34 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
