Off the line, the G6 hits 100 km/h in 3.80 s versus 5.37 s for the Model Y Long Range RWD. At this point, the G6 leads by 1.57 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the G6 is doing 152 km/h against 131 km/h for the Model Y Long Range RWD. The gap is 1.11 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the G6 crosses the line in 12.03 s versus 13.90 s. The 1.87 s gap represents roughly 79 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 172 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the G6 finishes in 22.89 s versus 26.20 s, with a 3.31 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (216 km/h), the Model Y Long Range RWD never recovers its launch deficit.
The G6 features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Model Y Long Range RWD’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 G6 is capped at 200 km/h, the Model Y Long Range RWD at 217 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 (4.41 kg/hp vs 6.84 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.80 seconds. The 1.57 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 5,37 s).
G6 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,80 seconds (calibrated simulation).
