Off the line, the Bmw X1 xDrive25e hits 100 km/h in 6.78 s versus 8.31 s for the Terramar. At this point, the Bmw X1 xDrive25e leads by 1.53 s and sits roughly 24 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw X1 xDrive25e is doing 122 km/h against 116 km/h for the Terramar. The gap is 1.08 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw X1 xDrive25e crosses the line in 14.92 s versus 16.25 s. The 1.33 s gap represents roughly 52 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw X1 xDrive25e continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 168 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw X1 xDrive25e finishes in 27.44 s versus 29.41 s, with a 1.97 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (214 km/h), the Terramar never recovers its launch deficit.
The Bmw X1 xDrive25e features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Terramar’s FWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Electronically capped at 193 km/h, the Bmw X1 xDrive25e 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.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.93 kg/hp vs 9.00 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.30 seconds. The 1.53 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
