Off the line, the Cayenne S Hybrid hits 100 km/h in 6.22 s versus 7.37 s for the 220i Active Tourer. At this point, the Cayenne S Hybrid leads by 1.15 s and sits roughly 18 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne S Hybrid is doing 127 km/h against 121 km/h for the 220i Active Tourer. The gap is 0.85 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne S Hybrid crosses the line in 14.37 s versus 15.46 s. The 1.10 s gap represents roughly 45 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Cayenne S Hybrid continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 175 km/h versus 168 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne S Hybrid finishes in 26.38 s versus 28.02 s, with a 1.64 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (236 vs 229 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne S Hybrid is capped at 242 km/h, the 220i Active Tourer at 229 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 combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.89 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 11.62 seconds. The 1.15 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Cayenne S Hybrid 958.1 wins (6,22 s vs 7,37 s).
