The 8 fastest electric SUVs from 0 to 100 km/h: ranking by acceleration

Acceleration has become the new language of electric luxury. Where we once spoke of engine displacement and revolutions per minute, today we measure instant torque and hundredths of a second on the stopwatch. The SUV segment, traditionally far from pure performance, is undergoing a quiet revolution: models weighing over two tonnes that match or surpass iconic sports cars in the sprint to 100 km/h. This ranking features the fastest electric SUVs 0 to 100 that can be bought or reserved on the Spanish market today, with verifiable data from official specification sheets.

How we built the ranking

We have prioritised the official 0-100 km/h acceleration times declared by each manufacturer, cross-checked against power in kW/CV, battery capacity in kWh and homologated WLTP range. Prototypes, limited editions not sold in Spain, and single-motor variants are excluded when a faster dual-motor version of the same model exists. The prices mentioned are the manufacturer’s recommended retail price (RRP), without taking into account dealer discounts, one-off sales campaigns or purchase incentives such as the Plan MOVES.

The ranking of the 8 fastest electric SUVs

1. Lotus Eletre R: the absolute benchmark

The Lotus Eletre R is, to date, the fastest electric SUV homologated for the European market. With two motors delivering around 905 CV combined and all-wheel drive, this British-Chinese model declares a 0-100 km/h time of roughly 2.95 seconds. Its battery of around 112 kWh offers a WLTP range close to 490 km in the most performance-oriented version. We are talking about an RRP of around €170,000 in its most exclusive configuration.

2. Tesla Model Y Performance: the volume king

The new generation of the Model Y Performance reclaims the crown within the Tesla line-up with a declared 0-100 time of around 3.5 seconds, thanks to its two motors and a structural battery pack of roughly 78-79 kWh usable. Its WLTP range sits close to 580 km and its indicative price starts at around €60,000. It remains the reference in the segment for performance relative to price.

3. Zeekr 7X Performance: the premium breakthrough

The Zeekr 7X Performance is the major novelty of 2025 within the Geely group. With two motors delivering around 475 kW (646 CV) and an 800 V architecture, it promises a 0-100 km/h time of under 3.8 seconds. Its 100 kWh NMC battery allows ultra-fast charging and a WLTP range of close to 540 km. Zeekr positions the 7X as a direct alternative to the electric Porsche Macan, with an indicative RRP in the region of €70,000. The brand, alongside Volvo, reinforces Geely’s commitment to the premium-performance electric segment.

4. Porsche Macan Turbo Electric: pure dynamism

The Macan Turbo declares a 0-100 km/h time of 3.3 seconds with Launch Control function, thanks to its peak output of 470 kW (639 CV) and a 100 kWh gross battery. WLTP range around 591 km and an RRP starting at approximately €119,000. It remains the benchmark for dynamics in the segment.

5. Volvo EC40 Twin Motor Performance: the sturdy Swede

The Volvo EC40 Twin Motor in its 300 kW (408 CV) eAWD configuration achieves a 0-100 km/h time of 4.7 seconds, a remarkable figure for a compact crossover. It features an 82 kWh battery delivering 552 km WLTP, and its indicative price is around €58,600 (base RRP without promotions). Volvo has managed to balance performance, refinement and safety in a more accessible format than its German rivals. Together with the Zeekr 7X, it is the other major asset of the Geely group in this ranking.

6. Lotus Eletre S: the rational version of the rocket

Below the Eletre R, the Eletre S retains 450 kW (612 CV) and a declared 0-100 time of around 4.5 seconds. 112 kWh battery, WLTP range close to 600 km and an indicative price of around €110,000.

7. BMW iX xDrive50: the electric grand tourer

The BMW iX xDrive50 offers 385 kW (523 CV) and a declared 0-100 time of 4.6 seconds. Its battery of approximately 111.5 kWh gross provides a WLTP range of up to 633 km, and its price sits at around €105,000. The M70 version brings the sprint below 4 seconds, but the xDrive50 represents the optimal balance of the range.

8. Audi Q6 e-tron quattro: the PPE platform in action

The Audi Q6 e-tron quattro, built on the new Premium Platform Electric shared with Porsche, declares a 0-100 km/h time of around 5.9 seconds with 285 kW (387 CV). The SQ6 version drops to 4.3 seconds. Battery of 100 kWh gross, WLTP range close to 625 km and an indicative RRP starting at around €75,000.

Geely’s strategy: Zeekr and Volvo as spearheads

The most interesting aspect of the ranking is not just who wins, but who climbs. The Geely group places two models in the top 8 with complementary profiles: Zeekr bets on technological radicalism with its 800 V architecture, while Volvo offers high performance with its characteristic Nordic packaging. The EC40 Twin Motor shows that you do not need to exceed €100,000 to get close to five seconds in the sprint.

Beyond the stopwatch: what matters day to day

The 0-100 time sells headlines, but the real experience of an electric SUV is also measured in motorway overtaking recovery, battery thermal management under intensive use and the fast-charging curve. This is where models such as the Porsche Macan, the Zeekr 7X or the Volvo EC40 make less spectacular but more relevant differences, with sustained charging powers that reduce stops on long journeys.

Frequently asked questions

What is the fastest electric SUV from 0 to 100 km/h available in Spain?
The Lotus Eletre R, with a declared time of approximately 2.95 seconds thanks to its 905 CV combined output and all-wheel drive. It is the only electric SUV homologated in Spain that dips below three seconds.

What electric alternatives exist to the Porsche Macan Turbo?
The most direct options are the Zeekr 7X Performance (around 3.8 s and 646 CV), the Tesla Model Y Performance (around 3.5 s) and the Lotus Eletre S (4.5 s). The Volvo EC40 Twin Motor represents a more compact and accessible alternative.

Is the Volvo EC40 Twin Motor worth it compared with an BMW iX or a Audi Q6 e-tron?
It depends on use. The EC40 Twin Motor is more compact, urban and economical (indicative RRP from ~€58,600) and delivers 4.7 s in the 0-100. The BMW iX and the Audi Q6 e-tron compete in a higher category of size, range and refinement, with considerably higher prices.
