Off the line, the Macan GTS hits 100 km/h in 5.06 s versus 9.81 s for the Kadjar 1.3 TCe 160 EDC. At this point, the Macan GTS leads by 4.75 s and sits roughly 39 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Macan GTS is doing 138 km/h against 113 km/h for the Kadjar 1.3 TCe 160 EDC. The gap is 3.02 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Macan GTS crosses the line in 13.37 s versus 17.37 s. The 3.99 s gap represents roughly 147 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Macan GTS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 191 km/h versus 159 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Macan GTS finishes in 24.40 s versus 30.61 s, with a 6.21 s lead.
The Macan GTS features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Kadjar 1.3 TCe 160 EDC’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.
Electronically capped at 256 km/h, the Macan GTS never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.26 kg/hp vs 9.03 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.73 seconds. The 4.75 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Macan GTS 95B.1 wins (5,06 s vs 9,81 s).
