I-PACE EV400 vs Bmw M340d xDrive Touring: chronicle of a drag race at 250 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Bmw M340d xDrive Touring hits 100 km/h in 4.60 s versus 4.84 s for the I-PACE EV400. Despite lacking instant torque, 335 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Bmw M340d xDrive Touring leads by 0.24 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Bmw M340d xDrive Touring is doing 138 km/h against 141 km/h for the I-PACE EV400. The gap is 0.30 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw M340d xDrive Touring crosses the line in 12.92 s versus 13.18 s. The 0.26 s gap represents roughly 12 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Bmw M340d xDrive Touring continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 193 km/h versus 192 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M340d xDrive Touring finishes in 23.77 s versus 24.36 s, with a 0.59 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the I-PACE EV400 is capped at 200 km/h, the Bmw M340d xDrive Touring at 250 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.
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 7.38 seconds. The 0.24 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Jaguar I-PACE EV400 and Bmw M340d xDrive Touring are virtually tied to 100 km/h. The gap is under a tenth of a second — only the physics engine can settle it step by step.
