Off the line, the Cayenne S (8-speed Tiptronic S) hits 100 km/h in 5.81 s versus 6.63 s for the Bmw 225i xDrive Active Tourer. At this point, the Cayenne S (8-speed Tiptronic S) leads by 0.82 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne S (8-speed Tiptronic S) is doing 133 km/h against 126 km/h for the Bmw 225i xDrive Active Tourer. The gap is 0.57 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne S (8-speed Tiptronic S) crosses the line in 13.99 s versus 14.83 s. The 0.84 s gap represents roughly 36 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Cayenne S (8-speed Tiptronic S) continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 186 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne S (8-speed Tiptronic S) finishes in 25.30 s versus 26.93 s, with a 1.62 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne S (8-speed Tiptronic S) is capped at 258 km/h, the Bmw 225i xDrive Active Tourer at 235 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 (5.16 kg/hp vs 6.58 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.33 seconds. The 0.82 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.
