Off the line, the G9 hits 100 km/h in 8.51 s versus 8.62 s for the Q4 40 e-tron 150 kW. Despite the faster sprint time, the Q4 40 e-tron 150 kW is 5 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the Q4 40 e-tron 150 kW is doing 115 km/h against 120 km/h for the G9. The gap is 0.10 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the G9 crosses the line in 16.32 s versus 16.48 s. The 0.16 s gap represents roughly 6 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the G9 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 169 km/h versus 157 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the G9 finishes in 28.71 s versus 30.31 s, with a 1.60 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the G9 is capped at 200 km/h, the Q4 40 e-tron 150 kW at 160 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 (7.18 kg/hp vs 10.57 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.70 seconds. The 0.11 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, G9 wins (8,51 s vs 8,62 s).
G9 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 8,51 seconds (calibrated simulation).
