Off the line, the ID.5 GTX hits 100 km/h in 6.24 s versus 8.29 s for the Austral E-Tech Full Hybrid 200. The instant torque of 460 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the ID.5 GTX leads by 2.05 s and sits roughly 26 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the ID.5 GTX is doing 128 km/h against 120 km/h for the Austral E-Tech Full Hybrid 200. The gap is 1.34 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the ID.5 GTX crosses the line in 14.53 s versus 16.16 s. The 1.62 s gap represents roughly 66 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the ID.5 GTX continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 175 km/h versus 168 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the ID.5 GTX finishes in 26.88 s versus 28.80 s, with a 1.92 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (180 vs 180 km/h), preventing any comeback.
The ID.5 GTX features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Austral E-Tech Full Hybrid 200’s FWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the ID.5 GTX and the Austral E-Tech Full Hybrid 200 are governed to 180 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
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 12.45 seconds. The 2.05 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, ID.5 GTX wins (6,24 s vs 8,29 s).
ID.5 GTX goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,24 seconds (calibrated simulation).
