Off the line, the Bmw X7 M50i hits 100 km/h in 4.74 s versus 7.58 s for the Compass 4xe. Despite lacking instant torque, 530 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Bmw X7 M50i leads by 2.84 s and sits roughly 16 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw X7 M50i is doing 144 km/h against 116 km/h for the Compass 4xe. The gap is 1.60 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw X7 M50i crosses the line in 12.92 s versus 15.62 s. The 2.70 s gap represents roughly 103 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw X7 M50i continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 201 km/h versus 159 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw X7 M50i finishes in 23.38 s versus 28.87 s, with a 5.49 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw X7 M50i is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Compass 4xe at 200 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 12.66 seconds. The 2.84 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, X7 M50i G07 wins (4,74 s vs 7,58 s).
