Off the line, the Model Y Juniper RWD hits 100 km/h in 6.04 s versus 8.31 s for the Terramar. At this point, the Model Y Juniper RWD leads by 2.27 s and sits roughly 17 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model Y Juniper RWD is doing 135 km/h against 116 km/h for the Terramar. The gap is 1.26 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model Y Juniper RWD crosses the line in 14.24 s versus 16.25 s. The 2.01 s gap represents roughly 78 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model Y Juniper RWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 185 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model Y Juniper RWD finishes in 25.58 s versus 29.41 s, with a 3.83 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (209 vs 214 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 209 km/h, the Model Y Juniper RWD 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 plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (6.20 kg/hp vs 9.00 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.30 seconds. The 2.27 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
