Off the line, the DS9 E-Tense 250 hits 100 km/h in 8.36 s versus 8.51 s for the G9. The 0.15 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the DS9 E-Tense 250 is doing 121 km/h against 120 km/h for the G9. The gap is 0.04 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the DS9 E-Tense 250 crosses the line in 16.22 s versus 16.32 s. The 0.10 s gap represents roughly 4 m of track — barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the DS9 E-Tense 250 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 170 km/h versus 169 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the DS9 E-Tense 250 finishes in 28.57 s versus 28.71 s, with a 0.14 s lead.
Electronically capped at 200 km/h, the G9 never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor — it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.18 kg/hp vs 7.51 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.63 seconds. The 0.15 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
