Off the line, the Q7 SUV hits 100 km/h in 5.82 s versus 6.40 s for the Bmw 225d. The instant torque of 600 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Q7 SUV leads by 0.58 s and sits roughly 13 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Q7 SUV is doing 129 km/h against 130 km/h for the Bmw 225d. The gap is 0.50 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Q7 SUV crosses the line in 14.16 s versus 14.61 s. The 0.45 s gap represents roughly 20 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The Q7 SUV maxes out at 235 km/h while the Bmw 225d keeps accelerating towards 243 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.38 s.
At 1,000 metres, the Q7 SUV finishes in 26.06 s versus 26.28 s, with just 0.22 s to spare. The Bmw 225d fails to fully close the launch gap.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Q7 SUV is capped at 240 km/h, the Bmw 225d at 243 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit — it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
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 9.71 seconds. The 0.58 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
