Off the line, the Bmw 225xe iPerformance hits 100 km/h in 6.80 s versus 7.45 s for the MONA M03. At this point, the Bmw 225xe iPerformance leads by 0.65 s and sits roughly 13 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 225xe iPerformance is doing 126 km/h against 126 km/h for the MONA M03. The gap is 0.50 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 15.48 s. The 0.52 s gap represents roughly 22 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 225xe iPerformance continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 176 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 225xe iPerformance finishes in 26.93 s versus 27.51 s, with a 0.58 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (202 vs 200 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Bmw 225xe iPerformance and the MONA M03 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 plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.17 kg/hp vs 7.60 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.92 seconds. The 0.65 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.
