Off the line, the SQ7 SUV hits 100 km/h in 4.03 s versus 4.03 s for the SQ8 SUV. The 0.00 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the SQ7 SUV is doing 154 km/h against 154 km/h for the SQ8 SUV. The gap is 0.00 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the SQ7 SUV crosses the line in 12.11 s versus 12.11 s. The 0.00 s gap represents roughly 0 m of track
Past 400 metres, nothing changes. Same ceiling, same acceleration, same trajectory - both rivals run in formation to the line. The 0.01 s gap at 1,000 metres confirms what the specs already suggested: on track, they’re interchangeable. The real contest happens elsewhere - range, comfort, charging network reliability.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the SQ7 SUV and the SQ8 SUV 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 (4.47 kg/hp vs 4.42 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.96 seconds. The 0.00 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, SQ7 SUV and SQ8 SUV are neck and neck (4,03 s vs 4,03 s, no significant gap).
SQ7 SUV goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,03 seconds (calibrated simulation).
SQ7 SUV: 507 hp, ratio 4,47 kg/hp. SQ8 SUV: 507 hp, ratio 4,42 kg/hp.
SQ7 SUV: 250 km/h. SQ8 SUV: 250 km/h.
