Off the line, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD hits 100 km/h in 4.55 s versus 4.74 s for the Cayenne E-Hybrid. Despite the faster sprint time, the Cayenne E-Hybrid 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 Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD is doing 145 km/h against 141 km/h for the Cayenne E-Hybrid. The gap is 0.07 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD crosses the line in 12.83 s versus 13.01 s. The 0.19 s gap represents roughly 9 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 199 km/h versus 195 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD finishes in 23.43 s versus 23.81 s, with a 0.39 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (253 km/h), the Cayenne E-Hybrid never recovers its launch deficit.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne E-Hybrid is capped at 253 km/h, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD at 217 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 5.05 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.35 seconds. The 0.20 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD wins (4,54 s vs 4,74 s).
