Han EV 200kW 2WD vs Bmw X1 xDrive25i: chronicle of a drag race at 235 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Bmw X1 xDrive25i hits 100 km/h in 6.46 s versus 7.76 s for the Han EV 200kW 2WD. Despite lacking instant torque, 231 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Bmw X1 xDrive25i leads by 1.30 s and sits roughly 24 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Bmw X1 xDrive25i is doing 125 km/h against 123 km/h for the Han EV 200kW 2WD. The gap is 1.00 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw X1 xDrive25i crosses the line in 14.67 s versus 15.74 s. The 1.07 s gap represents roughly 45 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Bmw X1 xDrive25i continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 173 km/h versus 172 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw X1 xDrive25i finishes in 26.82 s versus 28.20 s, with a 1.38 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Han EV 200kW 2WD is capped at 180 km/h, the Bmw X1 xDrive25i at 235 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 11.56 seconds. The 1.30 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Bmw X1 xDrive25i has a clear edge over the BYD Han EV 200kW 2WD to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
