The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Model Y Long Range AWD hits 100 km/h in 5.05 s versus 5.49 s for the Q6 Sportback e-tron quattro 315 kW. At this point, the Model Y Long Range AWD leads by 0.44 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Model Y Long Range AWD is doing 143 km/h against 139 km/h for the Q6 Sportback e-tron quattro 315 kW. The gap is 0.32 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the Model Y Long Range AWD crosses the line in 13.27 s versus 13.72 s. The 0.45 s gap represents roughly 21 m of track — two to three car lengths.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the Model Y Long Range AWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 197 km/h versus 191 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model Y Long Range AWD finishes in 23.97 s versus 24.77 s, with a 0.80 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (210 vs 217 km/h), preventing any comeback.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Q6 Sportback e-tron quattro 315 kW is capped at 210 km/h, the Model Y Long Range AWD at 217 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 (5.64 kg/hp vs 5.22 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.08 seconds. The 0.44 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
