Off the line, the Compass 4xe hits 100 km/h in 7.58 s versus 7.62 s for the Sportage HEV AWD. The instant torque of 400 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. The 0.04 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Compass 4xe is doing 116 km/h against 123 km/h for the Sportage HEV AWD. The gap is 0.30 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Sportage HEV AWD crosses the line in 15.56 s versus 15.62 s. The 0.06 s gap represents roughly 2 m of track — barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the Sportage HEV AWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 173 km/h versus 159 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Sportage HEV AWD finishes in 27.74 s versus 28.87 s, with a 1.14 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (193 vs 200 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Sportage HEV AWD is capped at 193 km/h, the Compass 4xe at 200 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 12.66 seconds. The 0.04 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
