The start: 0 to 100 km/h

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.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

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

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

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.

What the numbers don’t tell you

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.
