Off the line, the ID.4 GTX hits 100 km/h in 6.15 s versus 7.58 s for the Compass 4xe. At this point, the ID.4 GTX leads by 1.43 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the ID.4 GTX is doing 128 km/h against 116 km/h for the Compass 4xe. The gap is 0.65 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the ID.4 GTX crosses the line in 14.48 s versus 15.62 s. The 1.14 s gap represents roughly 45 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the ID.4 GTX continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 175 km/h versus 159 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the ID.4 GTX finishes in 26.83 s versus 28.87 s, with a 2.04 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (200 km/h), the Compass 4xe never recovers its launch deficit.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the ID.4 GTX is capped at 180 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 (7.33 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 1.43 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, ID.4 GTX wins (6,15 s vs 7,58 s).
ID.4 GTX goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,15 seconds (calibrated simulation).
