The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Model Y Juniper RWD hits 100 km/h in 6.04 s versus 7.32 s for the Cooper SE FWD. At this point, the Model Y Juniper RWD leads by 1.28 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Model Y Juniper RWD is doing 135 km/h against 124 km/h for the Cooper SE FWD. The gap is 0.80 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 15.46 s. The 1.22 s gap represents roughly 50 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 RWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 185 km/h versus 150 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model Y Juniper RWD finishes in 25.58 s versus 29.86 s, with a 4.28 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model Y Juniper RWD is capped at 209 km/h, the Cooper SE FWD at 150 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 (6.20 kg/hp vs 7.42 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.21 seconds. The 1.28 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
