Off the line, the 220i Active Tourer hits 100 km/h in 7.37 s versus 7.55 s for the Cayenne (8-speed Tiptronic S). Despite the faster sprint time, the Cayenne (8-speed Tiptronic S) is 2 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne (8-speed Tiptronic S) is doing 119 km/h against 121 km/h for the 220i Active Tourer. The gap is 0.01 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 220i Active Tourer crosses the line in 15.46 s versus 15.50 s. The 0.04 s gap represents roughly 2 m of track
Past 400 metres, the 220i Active Tourer continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 168 km/h versus 166 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 220i Active Tourer finishes in 28.02 s versus 28.16 s, with a 0.14 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (224 vs 229 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Cayenne (8-speed Tiptronic S) and the 220i Active Tourer are governed to 230 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 (6.68 kg/hp vs 7.95 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.88 seconds. The 0.18 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.
