Off the line, the iX xDrive50 hits 100 km/h in 4.69 s versus 6.73 s for the 4 Long Range RWD. At this point, the iX xDrive50 leads by 2.05 s and sits roughly 22 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the iX xDrive50 is doing 144 km/h against 129 km/h for the 4 Long Range RWD. The gap is 1.45 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the iX xDrive50 crosses the line in 12.93 s versus 14.92 s. The 1.99 s gap represents roughly 84 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 176 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the iX xDrive50 finishes in 23.92 s versus 27.23 s, with a 3.31 s lead.
The iX xDrive50 features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the 4 Long Range RWD’s RWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the iX xDrive50 is capped at 200 km/h, the 4 Long Range RWD 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 7.00 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.07 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 6,73 s).
iX xDrive50 I20 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,69 seconds (calibrated simulation).
