Off the line, the Macan GTS hits 100 km/h in 4.49 s versus 6.28 s for the Wrangler 4xe. Despite lacking instant torque, 360 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Macan GTS leads by 1.79 s and sits roughly 18 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Macan GTS is doing 147 km/h against 128 km/h for the Wrangler 4xe. The gap is 1.31 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Macan GTS crosses the line in 12.61 s versus 14.60 s. The 1.99 s gap represents roughly 84 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Macan GTS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 206 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Macan GTS finishes in 22.79 s versus 27.06 s, with a 4.27 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Wrangler 4xe is capped at 177 km/h, the Macan GTS at 272 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.
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 9.90 seconds. The 1.79 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Macan GTS 95B.3 wins (4,49 s vs 6,28 s).
Wrangler 4xe goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,28 seconds (calibrated simulation).
