Off the line, the SQ7 SUV hits 100 km/h in 4.04 s versus 5.59 s for the Bmw X6 xDrive40d. At this point, the SQ7 SUV leads by 1.55 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the SQ7 SUV is doing 154 km/h against 131 km/h for the Bmw X6 xDrive40d. The gap is 1.07 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the SQ7 SUV crosses the line in 12.11 s versus 13.91 s. The 1.80 s gap represents roughly 79 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 182 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the SQ7 SUV finishes in 21.94 s versus 25.48 s, with a 3.54 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) vs 248 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the SQ7 SUV and the Bmw X6 xDrive40d 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 (4.34 kg/hp vs 6.51 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.87 seconds. The 1.55 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 5,58 s).
