Off the line, the Model Y Long Range RWD hits 100 km/h in 5.37 s versus 6.30 s for the Tonale PHEV. At this point, the Model Y Long Range RWD leads by 0.93 s and sits roughly 14 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model Y Long Range RWD is doing 131 km/h against 129 km/h for the Tonale PHEV. The gap is 0.65 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model Y Long Range RWD crosses the line in 13.90 s versus 14.52 s. The 0.62 s gap represents roughly 27 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The Tonale PHEV maxes out at 200 km/h while the Model Y Long Range RWD keeps accelerating towards 216 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap is down to 0.48 s from 0.62 s at 400 metres.
At 1,000 metres, the Model Y Long Range RWD finishes in 26.20 s versus 26.24 s, with just 0.04 s to spare. The Tonale PHEV fails to fully close the launch gap.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model Y Long Range RWD is capped at 217 km/h, the Tonale PHEV at 200 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 plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (6.84 kg/hp vs 6.68 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.74 seconds. The 0.93 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
