Off the line, the SQ2 hits 100 km/h in 4.94 s versus 5.05 s for the Model Y Long Range AWD. Despite lacking instant torque, 300 hp of power compensates. At this point, the SQ2 leads by 0.11 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the SQ2 is doing 133 km/h against 143 km/h for the Model Y Long Range AWD. The gap is 0.04 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model Y Long Range AWD crosses the line in 13.27 s versus 13.47 s. The 0.20 s gap represents roughly 10 m of track — barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the Model Y Long Range AWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 197 km/h versus 190 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model Y Long Range AWD finishes in 23.97 s versus 24.55 s, with a 0.58 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (257 km/h), the SQ2 never recovers its launch deficit.
Electronically capped at 217 km/h, the Model Y Long Range AWD 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.36 seconds. The 0.11 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
