Off the line, the Rafale E-Tech Full Hybrid 4x4 300 hits 100 km/h in 5.68 s versus 8.51 s for the G9. Despite lacking instant torque, 300 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Rafale E-Tech Full Hybrid 4x4 300 leads by 2.83 s and sits roughly 32 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Rafale E-Tech Full Hybrid 4x4 300 is doing 133 km/h against 120 km/h for the G9. The gap is 1.88 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Rafale E-Tech Full Hybrid 4x4 300 crosses the line in 13.92 s versus 16.32 s. The 2.40 s gap represents roughly 96 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Rafale E-Tech Full Hybrid 4x4 300 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 186 km/h versus 169 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Rafale E-Tech Full Hybrid 4x4 300 finishes in 25.35 s versus 28.71 s, with a 3.36 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (200 vs 200 km/h), preventing any comeback.
The Rafale E-Tech Full Hybrid 4x4 300 features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the G9’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 share the same electronic speed cap: the G9 and the Rafale E-Tech Full Hybrid 4x4 300 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.63 seconds. The 2.83 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Rafale E-Tech Full Hybrid 4x4 300 wins (5,68 s vs 8,51 s).
G9 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 8,51 seconds (calibrated simulation).
