Off the line, the Bmw X4 M40d hits 100 km/h in 4.81 s versus 5.28 s for the Macan S. At this point, the Bmw X4 M40d leads by 0.47 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw X4 M40d is doing 139 km/h against 138 km/h for the Macan S. The gap is 0.35 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw X4 M40d crosses the line in 13.13 s versus 13.52 s. The 0.39 s gap represents roughly 18 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw X4 M40d continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 193 km/h versus 190 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw X4 M40d finishes in 24.04 s versus 24.59 s, with a 0.56 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) vs 251 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Bmw X4 M40d and the Macan S are governed to 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold — an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.94 kg/hp vs 5.49 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.00 seconds. The 0.47 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
