Off the line, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 hits 100 km/h in 8.18 s versus 8.62 s for the Q4 40 e-tron 150 kW. At this point, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 leads by 0.44 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 is doing 115 km/h against 115 km/h for the Q4 40 e-tron 150 kW. The gap is 0.43 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 crosses the line in 16.11 s versus 16.48 s. The 0.36 s gap represents roughly 14 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 154 km/h versus 157 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 finishes in 29.80 s versus 30.31 s, with a 0.51 s lead.
Electronically capped at 160 km/h, the Q4 40 e-tron 150 kW 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.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (10.57 kg/hp vs 10.45 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.70 seconds. The 0.44 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.
