The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD hits 100 km/h in 4.55 s versus 6.86 s for the Bmw iX3. At this point, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD leads by 2.32 s and sits roughly 21 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD is doing 145 km/h against 126 km/h for the Bmw iX3. The gap is 1.58 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD crosses the line in 12.83 s versus 15.07 s. The 2.24 s gap represents roughly 93 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 199 km/h versus 172 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD finishes in 23.43 s versus 27.54 s, with a 4.11 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD is capped at 217 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 (5.05 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 2.32 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
