Off the line, the SQ6 Sportback e-tron hits 100 km/h in 4.37 s versus 7.97 s for the Bmw X4 xDrive20d. The instant torque of 855 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the SQ6 Sportback e-tron leads by 3.60 s and sits roughly 16 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the SQ6 Sportback e-tron is doing 145 km/h against 113 km/h for the Bmw X4 xDrive20d. The gap is 1.89 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the SQ6 Sportback e-tron crosses the line in 12.68 s versus 15.80 s. The 3.12 s gap represents roughly 115 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the SQ6 Sportback e-tron continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 200 km/h versus 156 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the SQ6 Sportback e-tron finishes in 23.17 s versus 29.28 s, with a 6.12 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the SQ6 Sportback e-tron is capped at 230 km/h, the Bmw X4 xDrive20d at 213 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.55 seconds. The 3.60 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
