Off the line, the Rafale E-Tech Full Hybrid 4x4 300 hits 100 km/h in 5.68 s versus 7.58 s for the Compass 4xe. Despite lacking instant torque, 300 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Rafale E-Tech Full Hybrid 4x4 300 leads by 1.90 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Rafale E-Tech Full Hybrid 4x4 300 is doing 133 km/h against 116 km/h for the Compass 4xe. The gap is 0.98 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Rafale E-Tech Full Hybrid 4x4 300 crosses the line in 13.92 s versus 15.62 s. The 1.70 s gap represents roughly 66 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Rafale E-Tech Full Hybrid 4x4 300 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 186 km/h versus 159 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Rafale E-Tech Full Hybrid 4x4 300 finishes in 25.35 s versus 28.87 s, with a 3.53 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (200 vs 200 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Rafale E-Tech Full Hybrid 4x4 300 and the Compass 4xe are governed to 200 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
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 12.66 seconds. The 1.90 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Rafale E-Tech Full Hybrid 4x4 300 wins (5,68 s vs 7,58 s).
