Off the line, the Q7 SUV hits 100 km/h in 6.89 s versus 7.07 s for the Q7 SUV. Despite the faster sprint time, the Q7 SUV is 1 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the Q7 SUV is doing 119 km/h against 117 km/h for the Q7 SUV. The gap is 0.01 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Q7 SUV crosses the line in 15.00 s versus 15.11 s. The 0.11 s gap represents roughly 4 m of track — barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the Q7 SUV continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 165 km/h versus 162 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Q7 SUV finishes in 27.71 s versus 28.09 s, with a 0.37 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (226 vs 226 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Q7 SUV and the Q7 SUV 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 (9.09 kg/hp vs 9.44 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.95 seconds. The 0.18 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.
