Off the line, the X6 xDrive30d hits 100 km/h in 6.75 s versus 6.90 s for the X4 xDrive25d. At this point, the X6 xDrive30d leads by 0.15 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the X6 xDrive30d is doing 122 km/h against 121 km/h for the X4 xDrive25d. The gap is 0.10 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the X6 xDrive30d crosses the line in 14.94 s versus 15.07 s. The 0.13 s gap represents roughly 5 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the X6 xDrive30d continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 168 km/h versus 167 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the X6 xDrive30d finishes in 27.44 s versus 27.65 s, with a 0.21 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (230 vs 228 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the X6 xDrive30d and the X4 xDrive25d are governed to 230 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 (8.00 kg/hp vs 7.60 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.19 seconds. The 0.15 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, X6 xDrive30d F16 wins (6,75 s vs 6,90 s).
X6 xDrive30d F16 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,75 seconds (calibrated simulation).
