Off the line, the Taycan GTS hits 100 km/h in 3.65 s versus 4.37 s for the SQ6 SUV e-tron. At this point, the Taycan GTS leads by 0.72 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Taycan GTS is doing 156 km/h against 144 km/h for the SQ6 SUV e-tron. The gap is 0.59 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Taycan GTS crosses the line in 11.75 s versus 12.70 s. The 0.95 s gap represents roughly 46 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Taycan GTS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 219 km/h versus 198 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Taycan GTS finishes in 21.32 s versus 23.29 s, with a 1.97 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Taycan GTS is capped at 249 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the SQ6 SUV e-tron at 230 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 (3.90 kg/hp vs 4.76 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.73 seconds. The 0.72 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.
