Off the line, the Bmw 330e hits 100 km/h in 5.92 s versus 6.31 s for the P7i. At this point, the Bmw 330e leads by 0.39 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 330e is doing 128 km/h against 129 km/h for the P7i. The gap is 0.37 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 330e crosses the line in 14.23 s versus 14.56 s. The 0.33 s gap represents roughly 15 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The P7i maxes out at 200 km/h while the Bmw 330e keeps accelerating towards 230 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.29 s.
At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 330e finishes in 26.25 s versus 26.38 s, with just 0.13 s to spare. The P7i fails to fully close the launch gap.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the P7i is capped at 200 km/h, the Bmw 330e at 230 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 plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.18 kg/hp vs 6.90 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.78 seconds. The 0.39 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.
