Off the line, the X2 sDrive18d hits 100 km/h in 9.16 s versus 9.23 s for the X1 sDrive18d. The 0.07 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the X2 sDrive18d is doing 110 km/h against 110 km/h for the X1 sDrive18d. The gap is 0.00 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the X2 sDrive18d crosses the line in 16.72 s versus 16.74 s. The 0.02 s gap represents roughly 1 m of track
Past 400 metres, nothing changes. Same ceiling, same acceleration, same trajectory - both rivals run in formation to the line. The 0.05 s gap at 1,000 metres confirms what the specs already suggested: on track, they’re interchangeable. The real contest happens elsewhere - range, comfort, charging network reliability.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the X1 sDrive18d and the X2 sDrive18d are governed to 205 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 combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (10.03 kg/hp vs 10.07 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 15.31 seconds. The 0.07 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
