Off the line, the G9 hits 100 km/h in 8.51 s versus 8.59 s for the Bmw X2 sDrive20d. The instant torque of 430 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. The 0.08 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Bmw X2 sDrive20d is doing 112 km/h against 120 km/h for the G9. The gap is 0.38 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the G9 crosses the line in 16.32 s versus 16.35 s. The 0.03 s gap represents roughly 1 m of track
Past 400 metres, the G9 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 169 km/h versus 154 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the G9 finishes in 28.71 s versus 29.99 s, with a 1.29 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (200 vs 210 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the G9 is capped at 200 km/h, the Bmw X2 sDrive20d at 210 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 14.32 seconds. The 0.08 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
