Off the line, the Compass 4xe hits 100 km/h in 7.58 s versus 8.18 s for the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170. At this point, the Compass 4xe leads by 0.60 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Compass 4xe is doing 116 km/h against 115 km/h for the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170. The gap is 0.38 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Compass 4xe crosses the line in 15.62 s versus 16.11 s. The 0.49 s gap represents roughly 19 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Compass 4xe continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 159 km/h versus 154 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Compass 4xe finishes in 28.87 s versus 29.80 s, with a 0.93 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (200 vs 211 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 200 km/h, the Compass 4xe 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.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (9.56 kg/hp vs 10.45 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.65 seconds. The 0.60 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Compass 4xe wins (7,58 s vs 8,18 s).
Compass 4xe goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 7,58 seconds (calibrated simulation).
