Off the line, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 hits 100 km/h in 8.18 s versus 8.55 s for the ID.4 Pro. At this point, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 leads by 0.37 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 is doing 115 km/h against 116 km/h for the ID.4 Pro. The gap is 0.39 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 crosses the line in 16.11 s versus 16.42 s. The 0.31 s gap represents roughly 12 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The ID.4 Pro maxes out at 180 km/h while the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 keeps accelerating towards 211 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.22 s.
Around 969 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the ID.4 Pro overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 31 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the ID.4 Pro finishes in 29.78 s versus 29.80 s. The 0.02 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Electronically capped at 180 km/h, the ID.4 Pro 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.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (10.07 kg/hp vs 10.45 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.65 seconds. The 0.37 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
