In the Dutch car configurator the 0-100 km/u is now less than 6 seconds for an extended rwd. (0-100km/h equals 0-62,13mph). That converts to less than 5.8 second for 0-60mph for the extended RWD.
Maybe they made a typo... the Torque is also not measured in Mn (Nm)

It is a typo - ER RWD is 6.1 seconds everywhere else

Why a rolling start and not from standstill? Isn’t that standard?

Depends on who is doing the testing. At least they added the caveat to note how the 4.8 was obtained versus some companies that don't say that.

My very first car was a brand new 1973 Ford Pinto with a 1600 cc engine.

0-60: days.
My first car was a 1961 Ford Falcon wagon with a straight six. I could beat that car in a quarter mile from a standing start.
0-60? Not sure it could make it to 60.

My first car was a used 1963 Plymouth Fury III , in order to make 0-60 you ad to first succesfully start it especially on rainy days or in winter.?

My first vehicle was a Honda 50 motorcycle - downhill I could get to 52MPH max. It was given to me by my father, not what I would have picked but I had no money being still in high school.
On the plus side, gas was 25 cents a gallon.

I hope the 21% faster 0-60 time in the ER AWD vs the RWD doesn't translate into 21% less range (advertised as 10% lower now).

Probably not a linear calculation. But it appears the AWD does consume more power.
I wouldn't worry overly much. It likely depends on the drive cycle. Having two motors allows each motor to be run at a more efficient speed. Not a big advantage at lower speeds where drive train losses aren't a big issue. But at higher speeds, where drive train losses are significant, the increase in drive train efficiency should deliver more range.

The drive cycle used to calculate the range is heavily weighted towards lower speeds. Wouldn't be surprising that at 70 MPH the AWD was more efficient than RWD.

Would be interesting to ask.

That would sure be a nice bonus (for those of us with the AWD) if the AWD didn't lose efficiency as much as the RWD at highway speeds. Like say, the RWD losing 25% of EPA range at 75 MPH while the AWD only loses 10% (just sample numbers).

I'd be surprised, but pleasantly surprised.

1ft roll out is quite common in the the USA, nothing like making something look faster than it actually is :( It can reduce the time by up to .3 seconds. Which is why the launch of the GT last week in Europe with a quoted 0-62mph of 3.7 seconds and nothing faster in the class was a bit dubious as a 1ft roll out was used per the small print compared to the expected in Europe which is no roll out :(
