Off the line, the Bmw i7 xDrive60 hits 100 km/h in 4.66 s versus 7.54 s for the Megane E-Tech Electric 217. At this point, the Bmw i7 xDrive60 leads by 2.89 s and sits roughly 26 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw i7 xDrive60 is doing 145 km/h against 124 km/h for the Megane E-Tech Electric 217. The gap is 1.97 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw i7 xDrive60 crosses the line in 12.86 s versus 15.61 s. The 2.76 s gap represents roughly 111 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw i7 xDrive60 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 203 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw i7 xDrive60 finishes in 23.17 s versus 29.16 s, with a 6.00 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw i7 xDrive60 is capped at 240 km/h, the Megane E-Tech Electric 217 at 160 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 (4.85 kg/hp vs 7.80 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.36 seconds. The 2.89 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 7,54 s).
i7 xDrive60 G70 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,66 seconds (calibrated simulation).
