Off the line, the Bmw 740e iPerformance hits 100 km/h in 5.49 s versus 5.98 s for the DS7 E-Tense 4x4 300. At this point, the Bmw 740e iPerformance leads by 0.49 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 740e iPerformance is doing 133 km/h against 127 km/h for the DS7 E-Tense 4x4 300. The gap is 0.29 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 740e iPerformance crosses the line in 13.68 s versus 14.27 s. The 0.59 s gap represents roughly 25 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 740e iPerformance continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 187 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 740e iPerformance finishes in 24.90 s versus 26.41 s, with a 1.51 s lead.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Bmw 740e iPerformance never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.83 kg/hp vs 6.23 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.63 seconds. The 0.49 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.
