Off the line, the Macan S hits 100 km/h in 5.22 s versus 6.71 s for the Explorer EcoBoost 300. At this point, the Macan S leads by 1.49 s and sits roughly 18 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Macan S is doing 136 km/h against 127 km/h for the Explorer EcoBoost 300. The gap is 1.01 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Macan S crosses the line in 13.54 s versus 14.92 s. The 1.38 s gap represents roughly 59 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Macan S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 188 km/h versus 173 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Macan S finishes in 24.72 s versus 27.09 s, with a 2.38 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Macan S is capped at 253 km/h, the Explorer EcoBoost 300 at 220 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 (5.43 kg/hp vs 6.70 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.35 seconds. The 1.49 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
