Off the line, the Bmw XM 50e hits 100 km/h in 5.19 s versus 6.04 s for the Model Y Juniper RWD. At this point, the Bmw XM 50e leads by 0.85 s and sits roughly 14 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw XM 50e is doing 139 km/h against 135 km/h for the Model Y Juniper RWD. The gap is 0.64 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw XM 50e crosses the line in 13.44 s versus 14.24 s. The 0.81 s gap represents roughly 37 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw XM 50e continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 193 km/h versus 185 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw XM 50e finishes in 24.30 s versus 25.58 s, with a 1.28 s lead.
The Bmw XM 50e features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Model Y Juniper RWD’s RWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
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 Model Y Juniper RWD at 209 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 6.20 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.90 seconds. The 0.85 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, XM 50e G09 wins (5,19 s vs 6,04 s).
