Off the line, the Bmw X4 xDrive30d hits 100 km/h in 5.81 s versus 7.43 s for the Cayenne Diesel. At this point, the Bmw X4 xDrive30d leads by 1.62 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw X4 xDrive30d is doing 129 km/h against 117 km/h for the Cayenne Diesel. The gap is 0.79 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw X4 xDrive30d crosses the line in 14.13 s versus 15.43 s. The 1.30 s gap represents roughly 51 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw X4 xDrive30d continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 178 km/h versus 161 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw X4 xDrive30d finishes in 25.95 s versus 28.50 s, with a 2.55 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw X4 xDrive30d is capped at 245 km/h, the Cayenne Diesel at 217 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 (6.75 kg/hp vs 8.95 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.32 seconds. The 1.62 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.
