Off the line, the Q5 SUV hits 100 km/h in 7.35 s versus 7.62 s for the Bmw X1 sDrive20i. At this point, the Q5 SUV leads by 0.27 s and sits roughly 14 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Q5 SUV is doing 115 km/h against 118 km/h for the Bmw X1 sDrive20i. The gap is 0.45 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Q5 SUV crosses the line in 15.29 s versus 15.59 s. The 0.31 s gap represents roughly 12 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. Past 400 metres, both rivals hit the same electronic ceiling at 226 km/h. Neither can claw back ground through top speed — the outcome hinges on the acceleration curve between 100 and 226 km/h.
At 1,000 metres, the Bmw X1 sDrive20i finishes in 28.40 s versus 28.61 s. The 0.20 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Q5 SUV and the Bmw X1 sDrive20i are governed to 226 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.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (9.58 kg/hp vs 8.40 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.47 seconds. The 0.27 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
