Model 3 Standard Range Plus vs Kodiaq 2.0 TDI 190 4x4 7DSG: chronicle of a drag race at 224 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Model 3 Standard Range Plus hits 100 km/h in 5.81 s versus 7.56 s for the Kodiaq 2.0 TDI 190 4x4 7DSG. The instant torque of 449 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Model 3 Standard Range Plus leads by 1.75 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Model 3 Standard Range Plus is doing 129 km/h against 115 km/h for the Kodiaq 2.0 TDI 190 4x4 7DSG. The gap is 0.86 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model 3 Standard Range Plus crosses the line in 14.26 s versus 15.63 s. The 1.36 s gap represents roughly 53 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Model 3 Standard Range Plus continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 171 km/h versus 161 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model 3 Standard Range Plus finishes in 26.61 s versus 28.75 s, with a 2.14 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (224 vs 218 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 225 km/h, the Model 3 Standard Range Plus 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.
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 12.87 seconds. The 1.75 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus has a clear edge over the Skoda Kodiaq 2.0 TDI 190 4x4 7DSG to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
