Off the line, the Model X 100D hits 100 km/h in 4.64 s versus 4.95 s for the CLA 350 4MATIC with EQ technology. The 0.31 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Model X 100D is doing 148 km/h against 139 km/h for the CLA 350 4MATIC with EQ technology. The gap is 0.22 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model X 100D crosses the line in 12.78 s versus 13.32 s. The 0.54 s gap represents roughly 25 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Model X 100D continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 205 km/h versus 190 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X 100D finishes in 23.03 s versus 24.37 s, with a 1.34 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model X 100D is capped at 249 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the CLA 350 4MATIC with EQ technology at 210 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 (4.62 kg/hp vs 6.03 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.65 seconds. The 0.31 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Model X 100D wins (4,63 s vs 4,95 s).
Model X 100D goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,63 seconds (calibrated simulation).
