Off the line, the RS Q8 SUV hits 100 km/h in 3.87 s versus 5.60 s for the Bmw ActiveHybrid X6. At this point, the RS Q8 SUV leads by 1.73 s and sits roughly 19 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the RS Q8 SUV is doing 156 km/h against 141 km/h for the Bmw ActiveHybrid X6. The gap is 1.35 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the RS Q8 SUV crosses the line in 11.88 s versus 13.66 s. The 1.79 s gap represents roughly 84 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the RS Q8 SUV continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 217 km/h versus 198 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the RS Q8 SUV finishes in 21.56 s versus 24.29 s, with a 2.73 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) vs 236 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the RS Q8 SUV is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h, the Bmw ActiveHybrid X6 at 236 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 (3.86 kg/hp vs 5.05 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.07 seconds. The 1.73 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.
