Off the line, the G 500 hits 100 km/h in 5.40 s versus 9.16 s for the Q3 SUV. At this point, the G 500 leads by 3.77 s and sits roughly 30 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the G 500 is doing 133 km/h against 111 km/h for the Q3 SUV. The gap is 2.14 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the G 500 crosses the line in 13.68 s versus 16.93 s. The 3.25 s gap represents roughly 115 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the G 500 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 183 km/h versus 151 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the G 500 finishes in 25.19 s versus 30.84 s, with a 5.66 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (210 vs 209 km/h), preventing any comeback.
The G 500 features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Q3 SUV’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 share the same electronic speed cap: the G 500 and the Q3 SUV are governed to 210 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold — an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.53 kg/hp vs 10.40 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.01 seconds. The 3.77 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
