Off the line, the SQ7 SUV hits 100 km/h in 4.03 s versus 7.16 s for the Cayenne V6. At this point, the SQ7 SUV leads by 3.14 s and sits roughly 17 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the SQ7 SUV is doing 154 km/h against 122 km/h for the Cayenne V6. The gap is 1.87 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the SQ7 SUV crosses the line in 12.11 s versus 15.12 s. The 3.01 s gap represents roughly 119 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 213 km/h versus 169 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the SQ7 SUV finishes in 21.97 s versus 27.65 s, with a 5.68 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 Cayenne V6 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 (4.47 kg/hp vs 6.56 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.40 seconds. The 3.14 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
