Off the line, the EV6 AWD Long Range hits 100 km/h in 5.16 s versus 5.37 s for the Model Y Long Range RWD. The 0.21 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the EV6 AWD Long Range is doing 135 km/h against 131 km/h for the Model Y Long Range RWD. The gap is 0.11 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 13.90 s. The 0.30 s gap represents roughly 13 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the EV6 AWD Long Range continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 183 km/h versus 172 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the EV6 AWD Long Range finishes in 25.54 s versus 26.20 s, with a 0.66 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (216 km/h), the Model Y Long Range RWD 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 Model Y Long Range RWD 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 (6.72 kg/hp vs 6.84 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.80 seconds. The 0.21 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
