Bmw 740Le iPerformance vs Han EV 200kW 2WD: chronicle of a drag race at 250 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Bmw 740Le iPerformance hits 100 km/h in 5.58 s versus 7.76 s for the Han EV 200kW 2WD. Despite lacking instant torque, 326 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Bmw 740Le iPerformance leads by 2.18 s and sits roughly 31 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Bmw 740Le iPerformance is doing 132 km/h against 123 km/h for the Han EV 200kW 2WD. The gap is 1.60 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 740Le iPerformance crosses the line in 13.77 s versus 15.74 s. The 1.97 s gap represents roughly 81 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 740Le iPerformance continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 186 km/h versus 172 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 740Le iPerformance finishes in 25.05 s versus 28.20 s, with a 3.16 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw 740Le iPerformance is capped at 250 km/h, the Han EV 200kW 2WD at 180 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 11.56 seconds. The 2.18 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Bmw 740Le iPerformance has a clear edge over the BYD Han EV 200kW 2WD to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
