Off the line, the Macan GTS hits 100 km/h in 4.49 s versus 6.08 s for the RAV4 PHEV. Despite lacking instant torque, 360 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Macan GTS leads by 1.59 s and sits roughly 14 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Macan GTS is doing 147 km/h against 129 km/h for the RAV4 PHEV. The gap is 1.14 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Macan GTS crosses the line in 12.61 s versus 14.33 s. The 1.72 s gap represents roughly 75 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 206 km/h versus 181 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Macan GTS finishes in 22.79 s versus 25.91 s, with a 3.11 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (272 vs 264 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 272 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.
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 9.59 seconds. The 1.59 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Macan GTS 95B.3 wins (4,49 s vs 6,08 s).
