Off the line, the Terramar hits 100 km/h in 8.31 s versus 8.38 s for the Bmw X1 sDrive20d. The instant torque of 300 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. The 0.07 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Bmw X1 sDrive20d is doing 113 km/h against 116 km/h for the Terramar. The gap is 0.20 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw X1 sDrive20d crosses the line in 16.20 s versus 16.25 s. The 0.05 s gap represents roughly 2 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. Past 400 metres, both rivals hit the same electronic ceiling at 210 km/h. Neither can claw back ground through top speed - the outcome hinges on the acceleration curve between 100 and 210 km/h.
At 1,000 metres, the Terramar finishes in 29.41 s versus 29.75 s. The 0.34 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Electronically capped at 210 km/h, the Bmw X1 sDrive20d never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
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 13.95 seconds. The 0.07 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
