Off the line, the SQ7 SUV hits 100 km/h in 4.04 s versus 5.76 s for the Stelvio Veloce. At this point, the SQ7 SUV leads by 1.72 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the SQ7 SUV is doing 154 km/h against 129 km/h for the Stelvio Veloce. The gap is 1.18 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the SQ7 SUV crosses the line in 12.11 s versus 14.12 s. The 2.01 s gap represents roughly 86 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 214 km/h versus 177 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the SQ7 SUV finishes in 21.94 s versus 26.01 s, with a 4.07 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the SQ7 SUV is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Stelvio Veloce at 230 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 (4.34 kg/hp vs 6.59 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.26 seconds. The 1.72 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, SQ7 SUV wins (4,04 s vs 5,76 s).
SQ7 SUV goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,04 seconds (calibrated simulation).
