Off the line, the S90 B5 AWD hits 100 km/h in 6.58 s versus 6.86 s for the Bmw iX3. Despite lacking instant torque, 250 hp of power compensates. At this point, the S90 B5 AWD leads by 0.28 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the S90 B5 AWD is doing 125 km/h against 126 km/h for the Bmw iX3. The gap is 0.31 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the S90 B5 AWD crosses the line in 14.75 s versus 15.07 s. The 0.32 s gap represents roughly 14 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the S90 B5 AWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 176 km/h versus 172 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the S90 B5 AWD finishes in 27.11 s versus 27.54 s, with a 0.43 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (180 vs 180 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Bmw iX3 and the S90 B5 AWD are governed to 180 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.53 seconds. The 0.28 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
