Porsche Macan GTS 95B.1 vs KIA EV6 AWD Long Range: which is truly faster?

Off the line, the Macan GTS hits 100 km/h in 5.06 s versus 5.16 s for the EV6 AWD Long Range. Despite lacking instant torque, 360 hp of power compensates. The 0.10 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.

At 200 metres, the Macan GTS is doing 138 km/h against 135 km/h for the EV6 AWD Long Range. The gap is 0.06 s. The gap remains stable from the start.

At 400 metres standing start, the Macan GTS crosses the line in 13.37 s versus 13.61 s. The 0.23 s gap represents roughly 11 m of track — two to three car lengths.

Past 400 metres, the Macan GTS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 191 km/h versus 183 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Macan GTS finishes in 24.40 s versus 25.54 s, with a 1.15 s lead.

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Macan GTS is capped at 256 km/h, the EV6 AWD Long Range at 185 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.

Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.14 seconds. The 0.10 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
