Off the line, the iX xDrive50 hits 100 km/h in 4.69 s versus 6.86 s for the Bmw iX3. At this point, the iX xDrive50 leads by 2.18 s and sits roughly 21 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the iX xDrive50 is doing 144 km/h against 126 km/h for the Bmw iX3. The gap is 1.49 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the iX xDrive50 crosses the line in 12.93 s versus 15.07 s. The 2.15 s gap represents roughly 89 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the iX xDrive50 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 200 km/h versus 172 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the iX xDrive50 finishes in 23.92 s versus 27.54 s, with a 3.62 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the iX xDrive50 is capped at 200 km/h, the Bmw iX3 at 180 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 (4.94 kg/hp vs 7.64 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.53 seconds. The 2.18 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.
