Off the line, the Model X Performance hits 100 km/h in 3.05 s versus 8.18 s for the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170. At this point, the Model X Performance leads by 5.13 s and sits roughly 23 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model X Performance is doing 168 km/h against 115 km/h for the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170. The gap is 3.38 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model X Performance crosses the line in 10.92 s versus 16.11 s. The 5.20 s gap represents roughly 186 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model X Performance continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 233 km/h versus 154 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X Performance finishes in 19.92 s versus 29.80 s, with a 9.88 s lead.
The Model X Performance features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170’s FWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Electronically capped at 262 km/h, the Model X Performance 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 (3.16 kg/hp vs 10.45 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.65 seconds. The 5.13 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.
