Taycan 4 Cross Turismo vs Bmw 745Le: chronicle of a drag race at 250 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo hits 100 km/h in 4.84 s versus 5.36 s for the Bmw 745Le. The instant torque of 500 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo leads by 0.53 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo is doing 144 km/h against 141 km/h for the Bmw 745Le. The gap is 0.38 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo crosses the line in 13.02 s versus 13.47 s. The 0.45 s gap represents roughly 22 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 202 km/h versus 200 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo finishes in 23.49 s versus 23.97 s, with a 0.48 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (250 km/h), the Bmw 745Le never recovers its launch deficit.
What the numbers don’t tell you
The Taycan 4 Cross Turismo features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Bmw 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 Taycan 4 Cross Turismo is capped at 219 km/h, the Bmw 745Le at 250 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 7.84 seconds. The 0.53 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Porsche Taycan 4 Cross Turismo is slightly faster than the Bmw 745Le to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
