Off the line, the 840d xDrive Gran Coupe hits 100 km/h in 4.90 s versus 8.35 s for the E-PACE P200. At this point, the 840d xDrive Gran Coupe leads by 3.45 s and sits roughly 27 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 840d xDrive Gran Coupe is doing 138 km/h against 115 km/h for the E-PACE P200. The gap is 2.05 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 840d xDrive Gran Coupe crosses the line in 13.20 s versus 16.19 s. The 2.99 s gap represents roughly 113 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 840d xDrive Gran Coupe continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 193 km/h versus 159 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 840d xDrive Gran Coupe finishes in 24.10 s versus 29.41 s, with a 5.31 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 840d xDrive Gran Coupe is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the E-PACE P200 at 215 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.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.87 kg/hp vs 8.74 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.46 seconds. The 3.45 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 840d xDrive Gran Coupe G15 wins (4,90 s vs 8,35 s).
840d xDrive Gran Coupe G15 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,90 seconds (calibrated simulation).
