Off the line, the SQ6 SUV e-tron hits 100 km/h in 4.37 s versus 5.49 s for the Bmw X7 M50d. The instant torque of 855 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the SQ6 SUV e-tron leads by 1.13 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the SQ6 SUV e-tron is doing 144 km/h against 132 km/h for the Bmw X7 M50d. The gap is 0.74 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the SQ6 SUV e-tron crosses the line in 12.70 s versus 13.82 s. The 1.12 s gap represents roughly 50 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the SQ6 SUV e-tron continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 198 km/h versus 184 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the SQ6 SUV e-tron finishes in 23.29 s versus 25.28 s, with a 1.99 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h), the Bmw X7 M50d never recovers its launch deficit.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the SQ6 SUV e-tron is capped at 230 km/h, the Bmw X7 M50d at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) 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 8.69 seconds. The 1.13 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.
