Off the line, the Q4 45 e-tron 210 kW hits 100 km/h in 6.77 s versus 6.82 s for the G6. The 0.05 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Q4 45 e-tron 210 kW is doing 125 km/h against 126 km/h for the G6. The gap is 0.03 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the G6 crosses the line in 14.96 s versus 14.98 s. The 0.03 s gap represents roughly 1 m of track
Past 400 metres, the G6 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 177 km/h versus 172 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the G6 finishes in 26.81 s versus 27.43 s, with a 0.62 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the G6 is capped at 200 km/h, the Q4 45 e-tron 210 kW at 180 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 (6.99 kg/hp vs 7.50 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.55 seconds. The 0.05 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
