Off the line, the EV6 AWD Long Range hits 100 km/h in 5.16 s versus 6.08 s for the RAV4 PHEV. At this point, the EV6 AWD Long Range leads by 0.92 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the EV6 AWD Long Range is doing 135 km/h against 129 km/h for the RAV4 PHEV. The gap is 0.61 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 14.33 s. The 0.72 s gap represents roughly 32 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The EV6 AWD Long Range maxes out at 185 km/h while the RAV4 PHEV keeps accelerating towards 264 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.78 s.
At 1,000 metres, the EV6 AWD Long Range finishes in 25.54 s versus 25.91 s, with just 0.36 s to spare. The RAV4 PHEV fails to fully close the launch gap.
Electronically capped at 185 km/h, the EV6 AWD Long Range 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 (6.72 kg/hp vs 6.50 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.59 seconds. The 0.92 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 6,08 s).
EV6 AWD Long Range goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,16 seconds (calibrated simulation).
