Off the line, the EV6 AWD Long Range hits 100 km/h in 5.16 s versus 7.58 s for the Compass 4xe. At this point, the EV6 AWD Long Range leads by 2.42 s and sits roughly 15 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the EV6 AWD Long Range is doing 135 km/h against 116 km/h for the Compass 4xe. The gap is 1.29 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the EV6 AWD Long Range crosses the line in 13.61 s versus 15.62 s. The 2.01 s gap represents roughly 78 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the EV6 AWD Long Range continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 183 km/h versus 159 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the EV6 AWD Long Range finishes in 25.54 s versus 28.87 s, with a 3.33 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (200 km/h), the Compass 4xe never recovers its launch deficit.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the EV6 AWD Long Range is capped at 185 km/h, the Compass 4xe 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 (6.72 kg/hp vs 9.56 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.66 seconds. The 2.42 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, EV6 AWD Long Range wins (5,16 s vs 7,58 s).
