Off the line, the EV6 RWD Standard Range hits 100 km/h in 8.63 s versus 9.77 s for the ë-C4 FWD. At this point, the EV6 RWD Standard Range leads by 1.14 s and sits roughly 16 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the EV6 RWD Standard Range is doing 114 km/h against 110 km/h for the ë-C4 FWD. The gap is 0.67 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the EV6 RWD Standard Range crosses the line in 16.45 s versus 17.29 s. The 0.84 s gap represents roughly 31 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the EV6 RWD Standard Range continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 153 km/h versus 149 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the EV6 RWD Standard Range finishes in 30.22 s versus 31.39 s, with a 1.17 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (204 km/h), the ë-C4 FWD never recovers its launch deficit.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the EV6 RWD Standard Range is capped at 185 km/h, the ë-C4 FWD at 150 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 (11.47 kg/hp vs 11.25 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 15.91 seconds. The 1.14 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, EV6 RWD Standard Range wins (8,63 s vs 9,77 s).
EV6 RWD Standard Range goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 8,63 seconds (calibrated simulation).
