Off the line, the iX xDrive50 hits 100 km/h in 4.69 s versus 6.74 s for the X2 xDrive25e. At this point, the iX xDrive50 leads by 2.05 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the iX xDrive50 is doing 144 km/h against 122 km/h for the X2 xDrive25e. The gap is 1.16 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the iX xDrive50 crosses the line in 12.93 s versus 14.89 s. The 1.96 s gap represents roughly 80 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 169 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the iX xDrive50 finishes in 23.92 s versus 27.32 s, with a 3.40 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (200 vs 195 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the iX xDrive50 is capped at 200 km/h, the X2 xDrive25e at 195 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 plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.94 kg/hp vs 7.86 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.91 seconds. The 2.05 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, iX xDrive50 I20 wins (4,69 s vs 6,74 s).
iX xDrive50 I20 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,69 seconds (calibrated simulation).
