Off the line, the EV6 AWD Long Range hits 100 km/h in 5.16 s versus 5.19 s for the Bmw XM 50e. The 0.03 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the EV6 AWD Long Range is doing 135 km/h against 139 km/h for the Bmw XM 50e. The gap is 0.01 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw XM 50e crosses the line in 13.44 s versus 13.61 s. The 0.17 s gap represents roughly 8 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw XM 50e continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 193 km/h versus 183 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw XM 50e finishes in 24.30 s versus 25.54 s, with a 1.25 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw XM 50e is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the EV6 AWD Long Range at 185 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 plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.50 kg/hp vs 6.72 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.14 seconds. The 0.03 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.
Over 0–100 km/h, XM 50e G09 and EV6 AWD Long Range are neck and neck (5,16 s vs 5,19 s, no significant gap).
