The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the ID.4 Pro hits 100 km/h in 8.55 s versus 8.63 s for the EV6 RWD Standard Range. The 0.08 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the EV6 RWD Standard Range is doing 114 km/h against 116 km/h for the ID.4 Pro. The gap is 0.09 s. The gap remains stable from the start.

At 400 metres standing start, the ID.4 Pro crosses the line in 16.42 s versus 16.45 s. The 0.03 s gap represents roughly 1 m of track

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the ID.4 Pro continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 157 km/h versus 153 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the ID.4 Pro finishes in 29.78 s versus 30.22 s, with a 0.44 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (180 vs 185 km/h), preventing any comeback.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the ID.4 Pro is capped at 180 km/h, the EV6 RWD Standard Range at 185 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 (10.07 kg/hp vs 11.47 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.21 seconds. The 0.08 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
