Off the line, the Cayenne E-Hybrid hits 100 km/h in 4.74 s versus 7.58 s for the Compass 4xe. At this point, the Cayenne E-Hybrid leads by 2.84 s and sits roughly 20 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne E-Hybrid is doing 141 km/h against 116 km/h for the Compass 4xe. The gap is 1.64 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 15.62 s. The 2.61 s gap represents roughly 100 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 159 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne E-Hybrid finishes in 23.81 s versus 28.87 s, with a 5.06 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne E-Hybrid is capped at 253 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.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.98 kg/hp vs 9.56 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.66 seconds. The 2.84 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 7,58 s).
Cayenne E-Hybrid goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,74 seconds (calibrated simulation).
