The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the EX40 Twin Motor AWD hits 100 km/h in 4.93 s versus 6.82 s for the G6. At this point, the EX40 Twin Motor AWD leads by 1.90 s and sits roughly 14 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the EX40 Twin Motor AWD is doing 144 km/h against 126 km/h for the G6. The gap is 1.17 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the EX40 Twin Motor AWD crosses the line in 13.14 s versus 14.96 s. The 1.81 s gap represents roughly 77 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The EX40 Twin Motor AWD maxes out at 180 km/h while the G6 keeps accelerating towards 200 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap is down to 2.11 s from 1.81 s at 400 metres.

At 1,000 metres, the EX40 Twin Motor AWD finishes in 25.14 s versus 26.81 s, with just 1.67 s to spare. The G6 fails to fully close the launch gap.

What the numbers don’t tell you

The EX40 Twin Motor AWD 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 EX40 Twin Motor AWD 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 (5.17 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 1.90 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
