Off the line, the Q7 SUV hits 100 km/h in 7.07 s versus 9.20 s for the Bmw X2 sDrive18d. At this point, the Q7 SUV leads by 2.13 s and sits roughly 26 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Q7 SUV is doing 117 km/h against 110 km/h for the Bmw X2 sDrive18d. The gap is 1.25 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Q7 SUV crosses the line in 15.11 s versus 16.72 s. The 1.61 s gap represents roughly 59 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 152 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Q7 SUV finishes in 28.09 s versus 30.58 s, with a 2.50 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Q7 SUV is capped at 226 km/h, the Bmw X2 sDrive18d at 207 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 10.00 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 15.21 seconds. The 2.13 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.
