Off the line, the Bmw 740d xDrive hits 100 km/h in 5.16 s versus 6.04 s for the Model Y Juniper RWD. Despite lacking instant torque, 320 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Bmw 740d xDrive leads by 0.88 s and sits roughly 17 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 740d xDrive is doing 136 km/h against 135 km/h for the Model Y Juniper RWD. The gap is 0.70 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 740d xDrive crosses the line in 13.47 s versus 14.24 s. The 0.77 s gap represents roughly 35 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 740d xDrive continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 190 km/h versus 185 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 740d xDrive finishes in 24.53 s versus 25.58 s, with a 1.05 s lead.
The Bmw 740d xDrive features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Model Y Juniper RWD’s RWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw 740d xDrive is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Model Y Juniper RWD at 209 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.90 seconds. The 0.88 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 740d xDrive G11 wins (5,16 s vs 6,04 s).
