Off the line, the SQ8 SUV hits 100 km/h in 4.03 s versus 4.74 s for the Bmw X7 M50i. At this point, the SQ8 SUV leads by 0.71 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the SQ8 SUV is doing 154 km/h against 144 km/h for the Bmw X7 M50i. The gap is 0.55 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the SQ8 SUV crosses the line in 12.11 s versus 12.92 s. The 0.81 s gap represents roughly 40 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the SQ8 SUV continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 213 km/h versus 201 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the SQ8 SUV finishes in 21.98 s versus 23.38 s, with a 1.40 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) vs 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Bmw X7 M50i 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 (4.70 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 7.08 seconds. The 0.71 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.
