Off the line, the iX xDrive50 hits 100 km/h in 4.69 s versus 6.31 s for the P7i. At this point, the iX xDrive50 leads by 1.62 s and sits roughly 15 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the iX xDrive50 is doing 144 km/h against 129 km/h for the P7i. The gap is 1.09 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the iX xDrive50 crosses the line in 12.93 s versus 14.56 s. The 1.64 s gap represents roughly 70 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 178 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the iX xDrive50 finishes in 23.92 s versus 26.38 s, with a 2.46 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (200 vs 200 km/h), preventing any comeback.
The iX xDrive50 features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the P7i’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 share the same electronic speed cap: the iX xDrive50 and the P7i are governed to 200 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.94 kg/hp vs 7.18 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.78 seconds. The 1.62 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 6,31 s).
iX xDrive50 I20 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,69 seconds (calibrated simulation).
