Grand Cherokee 4xe vs Seal 313 2WD: chronicle of a drag race at 210 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Seal 313 2WD hits 100 km/h in 6.00 s versus 6.04 s for the Grand Cherokee 4xe. The instant torque of 360 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. The 0.04 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Grand Cherokee 4xe is doing 130 km/h against 135 km/h for the Seal 313 2WD. The gap is 0.08 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Seal 313 2WD crosses the line in 14.21 s versus 14.27 s. The 0.06 s gap represents roughly 3 m of track — barely a car length.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The Seal 313 2WD maxes out at 180 km/h while the Grand Cherokee 4xe keeps accelerating towards 210 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.14 s.
Around 767 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the Grand Cherokee 4xe overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 30 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the Grand Cherokee 4xe finishes in 25.86 s versus 26.31 s. The 0.46 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Grand Cherokee 4xe is capped at 210 km/h, the Seal 313 2WD at 180 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 9.33 seconds. The 0.04 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
BYD Seal 313 2WD is slightly faster than the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
