Off the line, the i7 xDrive60 hits 100 km/h in 4.66 s versus 5.98 s for the 7 E-Tense 4x4 300. At this point, the i7 xDrive60 leads by 1.33 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the i7 xDrive60 is doing 145 km/h against 127 km/h for the 7 E-Tense 4x4 300. The gap is 0.74 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the i7 xDrive60 crosses the line in 12.86 s versus 14.27 s. The 1.41 s gap represents roughly 60 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the i7 xDrive60 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 203 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the i7 xDrive60 finishes in 23.17 s versus 26.41 s, with a 3.24 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (240 vs 230 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 240 km/h, the i7 xDrive60 never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.85 kg/hp vs 6.23 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.63 seconds. The 1.33 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, i7 xDrive60 G70 wins (4,66 s vs 5,98 s).
i7 xDrive60 G70 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,66 seconds (calibrated simulation).
