Off the line, the Bmw X5 M Competition hits 100 km/h in 3.83 s versus 4.03 s for the SQ8 SUV. At this point, the Bmw X5 M Competition leads by 0.20 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw X5 M Competition is doing 155 km/h against 154 km/h for the SQ8 SUV. The gap is 0.16 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw X5 M Competition crosses the line in 11.94 s versus 12.11 s. The 0.17 s gap represents roughly 9 m of track — barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw X5 M Competition continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 215 km/h versus 213 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw X5 M Competition finishes in 21.80 s versus 21.98 s, with a 0.18 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) vs 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Bmw X5 M Competition and the SQ8 SUV 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 (3.74 kg/hp vs 4.42 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.96 seconds. The 0.20 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.
