Off the line, the Bmw X3 xDrive30d hits 100 km/h in 5.62 s versus 7.41 s for the Atto 3 Extended Range. Despite lacking instant torque, 286 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Bmw X3 xDrive30d leads by 1.79 s and sits roughly 23 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw X3 xDrive30d is doing 130 km/h against 121 km/h for the Atto 3 Extended Range. The gap is 1.21 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw X3 xDrive30d crosses the line in 13.96 s versus 15.57 s. The 1.61 s gap represents roughly 64 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw X3 xDrive30d continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 180 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw X3 xDrive30d finishes in 25.66 s versus 29.19 s, with a 3.53 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw X3 xDrive30d is capped at 245 km/h, the Atto 3 Extended Range at 160 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 11.71 seconds. The 1.79 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
