Off the line, the Cayenne E-Hybrid hits 100 km/h in 4.74 s versus 7.76 s for the e:Ny1. At this point, the Cayenne E-Hybrid leads by 3.02 s and sits roughly 31 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne E-Hybrid is doing 141 km/h against 122 km/h for the e:Ny1. The gap is 2.09 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne E-Hybrid crosses the line in 13.01 s versus 15.82 s. The 2.80 s gap represents roughly 111 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Cayenne E-Hybrid continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 195 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne E-Hybrid finishes in 23.81 s versus 29.40 s, with a 5.59 s lead.
The Cayenne E-Hybrid 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 Cayenne E-Hybrid is capped at 253 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.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.98 kg/hp vs 8.34 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.83 seconds. The 3.02 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Cayenne E-Hybrid wins (4,74 s vs 7,76 s).
Cayenne E-Hybrid goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,74 seconds (calibrated simulation).
