Off the line, the i5 xDrive40 hits 100 km/h in 5.30 s versus 7.45 s for the MONA M03. At this point, the i5 xDrive40 leads by 2.15 s and sits roughly 25 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the i5 xDrive40 is doing 137 km/h against 126 km/h for the MONA M03. The gap is 1.49 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the i5 xDrive40 crosses the line in 13.59 s versus 15.48 s. The 1.89 s gap represents roughly 79 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the i5 xDrive40 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 191 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the i5 xDrive40 finishes in 24.58 s versus 27.51 s, with a 2.93 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the i5 xDrive40 is capped at 215 km/h, the MONA M03 at 200 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 electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.79 kg/hp vs 7.60 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.92 seconds. The 2.15 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
