Off the line, the Sportage HEV AWD hits 100 km/h in 7.62 s versus 7.76 s for the e:Ny1. Despite lacking instant torque, 230 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Sportage HEV AWD leads by 0.14 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Sportage HEV AWD is doing 123 km/h against 122 km/h for the e:Ny1. The gap is 0.14 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Sportage HEV AWD crosses the line in 15.56 s versus 15.82 s. The 0.26 s gap represents roughly 11 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Sportage HEV AWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 173 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Sportage HEV AWD finishes in 27.74 s versus 29.40 s, with a 1.67 s lead.
The Sportage HEV AWD features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the e:Ny1’s FWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Sportage HEV AWD is capped at 193 km/h, the e:Ny1 at 160 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.83 seconds. The 0.14 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Sportage HEV AWD wins (7,62 s vs 7,76 s).
