Off the line, the X1 sDrive20i hits 100 km/h in 7.52 s versus 8.94 s for the Formentor. At this point, the X1 sDrive20i leads by 1.42 s and sits roughly 16 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the X1 sDrive20i is doing 121 km/h against 113 km/h for the Formentor. The gap is 0.81 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the X1 sDrive20i crosses the line in 15.51 s versus 16.67 s. The 1.16 s gap represents roughly 44 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the X1 sDrive20i continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 167 km/h versus 157 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the X1 sDrive20i finishes in 28.07 s versus 30.04 s, with a 1.97 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (226 vs 215 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the X1 sDrive20i is capped at 226 km/h, the Formentor at 215 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.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.73 kg/hp vs 9.73 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.31 seconds. The 1.42 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
