Off the line, the Compass 4xe hits 100 km/h in 7.58 s versus 8.03 s for the Bmw X1 sDrive20d. The instant torque of 400 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Compass 4xe leads by 0.45 s and sits roughly 13 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Compass 4xe is doing 116 km/h against 118 km/h for the Bmw X1 sDrive20d. The gap is 0.45 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Compass 4xe crosses the line in 15.62 s versus 15.95 s. The 0.33 s gap represents roughly 14 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The Compass 4xe maxes out at 200 km/h while the Bmw X1 sDrive20d keeps accelerating towards 222 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.20 s.
Around 858 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the Bmw X1 sDrive20d overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 22 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the Bmw X1 sDrive20d finishes in 28.76 s versus 28.87 s. The 0.11 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw X1 sDrive20d is capped at 222 km/h, the Compass 4xe at 200 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 12.66 seconds. The 0.45 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
