Off the line, the SQ7 SUV hits 100 km/h in 4.04 s versus 7.66 s for the Bmw 220d Convertible. At this point, the SQ7 SUV leads by 3.62 s and sits roughly 26 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the SQ7 SUV is doing 154 km/h against 120 km/h for the Bmw 220d Convertible. The gap is 2.43 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the SQ7 SUV crosses the line in 12.11 s versus 15.71 s. The 3.60 s gap represents roughly 140 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 167 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the SQ7 SUV finishes in 21.94 s versus 28.34 s, with a 6.40 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 Bmw 220d Convertible at 225 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 8.34 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.00 seconds. The 3.62 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.
