Off the line, the 745Le hits 100 km/h in 5.36 s versus 6.89 s for the Q7 SUV. The instant torque of 600 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the 745Le leads by 1.53 s and sits roughly 1 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 745Le is doing 141 km/h against 119 km/h for the Q7 SUV. The gap is 0.66 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 745Le crosses the line in 13.47 s versus 15.00 s. The 1.53 s gap represents roughly 61 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 745Le continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 200 km/h versus 165 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 745Le finishes in 23.97 s versus 27.71 s, with a 3.75 s lead.
The Q7 SUV features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the 745Le’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 745Le is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Q7 SUV at 226 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 11.45 seconds. The 1.53 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 745Le G11 wins (5,36 s vs 6,89 s).
