The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the ID.5 GTX hits 100 km/h in 6.24 s versus 6.82 s for the G6. At this point, the ID.5 GTX leads by 0.58 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the ID.5 GTX is doing 128 km/h against 126 km/h for the G6. The gap is 0.39 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 14.96 s. The 0.42 s gap represents roughly 18 m of track — two to three car lengths.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The ID.5 GTX maxes out at 180 km/h while the G6 keeps accelerating towards 200 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.40 s.

Around 968 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the G6 overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 20 km/h higher top speed.

At 1,000 metres, the G6 finishes in 26.81 s versus 26.88 s. The 0.06 s delta shows an extremely tight race.

What the numbers don’t tell you

The ID.5 GTX features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the G6’s RWD. 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 are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the ID.5 GTX is capped at 180 km/h, the G6 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 electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.33 kg/hp vs 6.99 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.49 seconds. The 0.58 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
