Off the line, the Q7 SUV hits 100 km/h in 7.07 s versus 11.23 s for the Bmw 216d. At this point, the Q7 SUV leads by 4.16 s and sits roughly 48 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Q7 SUV is doing 117 km/h against 105 km/h for the Bmw 216d. The gap is 2.47 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Q7 SUV crosses the line in 15.11 s versus 18.21 s. The 3.10 s gap represents roughly 107 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Q7 SUV continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 162 km/h versus 146 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Q7 SUV finishes in 28.09 s versus 32.65 s, with a 4.56 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Q7 SUV is capped at 226 km/h, the Bmw 216d at 195 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.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (9.09 kg/hp vs 12.24 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 18.17 seconds. The 4.16 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
