Grand Cherokee 4xe vs Bmw i5 eDrive40 Touring: chronicle of a drag race at 210 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Grand Cherokee 4xe hits 100 km/h in 6.04 s versus 6.12 s for the Bmw i5 eDrive40 Touring. Despite lacking instant torque, 375 hp of power compensates. The 0.08 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Grand Cherokee 4xe is doing 130 km/h against 134 km/h for the Bmw i5 eDrive40 Touring. The gap is 0.15 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Grand Cherokee 4xe crosses the line in 14.27 s versus 14.33 s. The 0.06 s gap represents roughly 3 m of track — barely a car length.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Grand Cherokee 4xe continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 182 km/h versus 184 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Grand Cherokee 4xe finishes in 25.86 s versus 25.96 s, with a 0.10 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Grand Cherokee 4xe is capped at 210 km/h, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 Touring at 193 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 9.33 seconds. The 0.08 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe and Bmw i5 eDrive40 Touring are virtually tied to 100 km/h. The gap is under a tenth of a second — only the physics engine can settle it step by step.
