Off the line, the SQ8 SUV hits 100 km/h in 4.03 s versus 4.35 s for the F-PACE SVR. At this point, the SQ8 SUV leads by 0.32 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the SQ8 SUV is doing 154 km/h against 154 km/h for the F-PACE SVR. The gap is 0.23 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the SQ8 SUV crosses the line in 12.11 s versus 12.30 s. The 0.19 s gap represents roughly 10 m of track — barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The SQ8 SUV maxes out at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h while the F-PACE SVR keeps accelerating towards 285 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.14 s.
At 1,000 metres, the SQ8 SUV finishes in 21.98 s versus 22.05 s, with just 0.08 s to spare. The F-PACE SVR fails to fully close the launch gap.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the F-PACE SVR is capped at 285 km/h, the SQ8 SUV at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) 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 (3.68 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 6.20 seconds. The 0.32 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.
