The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD hits 100 km/h in 4.55 s versus 6.24 s for the ID.5 GTX. At this point, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD leads by 1.70 s and sits roughly 13 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD is doing 145 km/h against 128 km/h for the ID.5 GTX. The gap is 1.11 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD crosses the line in 12.83 s versus 14.53 s. The 1.70 s gap represents roughly 72 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 199 km/h versus 175 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD finishes in 23.43 s versus 26.88 s, with a 3.45 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD is capped at 217 km/h, the ID.5 GTX at 180 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 (5.05 kg/hp vs 7.33 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.81 seconds. The 1.70 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
