Bmw 225xe iPerformance vs CR-V: chronicle of a drag race at 202 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Bmw 225xe iPerformance hits 100 km/h in 6.80 s versus 8.67 s for the CR-V. At this point, the Bmw 225xe iPerformance leads by 1.87 s and sits roughly 19 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Bmw 225xe iPerformance is doing 126 km/h against 116 km/h for the CR-V. The gap is 1.06 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 225xe iPerformance crosses the line in 14.96 s versus 16.50 s. The 1.54 s gap represents roughly 60 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 225xe iPerformance continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 176 km/h versus 159 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 225xe iPerformance finishes in 26.93 s versus 29.77 s, with a 2.85 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (202 vs 200 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Bmw 225xe iPerformance and the CR-V are governed to 202 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 (7.17 kg/hp vs 8.74 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.59 seconds. The 1.87 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Bmw 225xe iPerformance has a clear edge over the Honda CR-V to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
