Off the line, the SQ7 SUV hits 100 km/h in 4.03 s versus 4.42 s for the SQ5 SUV. The 0.39 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the SQ7 SUV is doing 154 km/h against 142 km/h for the SQ5 SUV. The gap is 0.29 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the SQ7 SUV crosses the line in 12.11 s versus 12.76 s. The 0.64 s gap represents roughly 31 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the SQ7 SUV continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 213 km/h versus 196 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the SQ7 SUV finishes in 21.97 s versus 23.50 s, with a 1.53 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) vs 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the SQ7 SUV and the SQ5 SUV are governed to 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) 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 (4.47 kg/hp vs 5.56 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.96 seconds. The 0.39 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.
