Off the line, the SQ7 SUV hits 100 km/h in 4.04 s versus 4.69 s for the iX xDrive50. Despite lacking instant torque, 507 hp of power compensates. At this point, the SQ7 SUV leads by 0.65 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the SQ7 SUV is doing 154 km/h against 144 km/h for the iX xDrive50. The gap is 0.52 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the SQ7 SUV crosses the line in 12.11 s versus 12.93 s. The 0.82 s gap represents roughly 40 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the SQ7 SUV continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 214 km/h versus 200 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the SQ7 SUV finishes in 21.94 s versus 23.92 s, with a 1.98 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the iX xDrive50 is capped at 200 km/h, the SQ7 SUV at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) 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 7.07 seconds. The 0.65 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
