Off the line, the Model Y Long Range RWD hits 100 km/h in 5.37 s versus 7.58 s for the Compass 4xe. At this point, the Model Y Long Range RWD leads by 2.21 s and sits roughly 16 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model Y Long Range RWD is doing 131 km/h against 116 km/h for the Compass 4xe. The gap is 1.18 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 15.62 s. The 1.72 s gap represents roughly 67 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model Y Long Range RWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 172 km/h versus 159 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model Y Long Range RWD finishes in 26.20 s versus 28.87 s, with a 2.67 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model Y Long Range RWD is capped at 217 km/h, the Compass 4xe 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 9.56 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.66 seconds. The 2.21 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
