X9 vs Taycan 4 Cross Turismo: chronicle of a drag race at 219 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the X9 hits 100 km/h in 3.88 s versus 4.84 s for the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo. At this point, the X9 leads by 0.96 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the X9 is doing 173 km/h against 144 km/h for the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo. The gap is 0.99 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the X9 crosses the line in 11.34 s versus 13.02 s. The 1.68 s gap represents roughly 81 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The X9 maxes out at 200 km/h while the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo keeps accelerating towards 219 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap is down to 1.85 s from 1.68 s at 400 metres.
At 1,000 metres, the X9 finishes in 22.13 s versus 23.49 s, with just 1.36 s to spare. The Taycan 4 Cross Turismo fails to fully close the launch gap.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the X9 is capped at 200 km/h, the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo at 219 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 electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (2.46 kg/hp vs 4.86 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.23 seconds. The 0.96 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Xpeng X9 has a clear edge over the Porsche Taycan 4 Cross Turismo to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
