Off the line, the G6 hits 100 km/h in 3.80 s versus 6.80 s for the 225xe iPerformance. At this point, the G6 leads by 3.00 s and sits roughly 23 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the G6 is doing 152 km/h against 126 km/h for the 225xe iPerformance. The gap is 2.10 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the G6 crosses the line in 12.03 s versus 14.96 s. The 2.93 s gap represents roughly 121 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the G6 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 200 km/h versus 176 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the G6 finishes in 22.89 s versus 26.93 s, with a 4.04 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (200 vs 202 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the G6 and the 225xe iPerformance are governed to 200 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.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.41 kg/hp vs 7.17 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.41 seconds. The 3.00 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, G6 wins (3,80 s vs 6,80 s).
G6 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,80 seconds (calibrated simulation).
