Questions and answers
Which hatchback is quickest from 0 to 100 km/h in the 1CARS catalog?
The Mercedes-Benz EQS (EQS V297 · 2021–present), with 3.4 s. Second is the Audi A5 with 3.6 s.
How is this ranking compiled?
Each model appears once, with the quickest 0–100 km/h time quoted for any of its versions.
Why is a model missing from the list?
A model is listed only when the 1CARS catalog has a confirmed figure for it. Models without an official figure stay out instead of getting an estimate, and the list grows as we add data. Concept cars, prototypes, one-offs and racing cars are not ranked; limited-run models are marked.
