Off the line, the Seal 390 AWD hits 100 km/h in 3.77 s versus 6.12 s for the i5 eDrive40. At this point, the Seal 390 AWD leads by 2.35 s and sits roughly 22 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Seal 390 AWD is doing 155 km/h against 135 km/h for the i5 eDrive40. The gap is 1.77 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Seal 390 AWD crosses the line in 11.93 s versus 14.29 s. The 2.36 s gap represents roughly 104 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The Seal 390 AWD maxes out at 180 km/h while the i5 eDrive40 keeps accelerating towards 193 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap is down to 2.44 s from 2.36 s at 400 metres.
At 1,000 metres, the Seal 390 AWD finishes in 23.93 s versus 25.87 s, with just 1.94 s to spare. The i5 eDrive40 fails to fully close the launch gap.
The Seal 390 AWD features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the i5 eDrive40’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 Seal 390 AWD is capped at 180 km/h, the i5 eDrive40 at 193 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 electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.06 kg/hp vs 6.81 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.92 seconds. The 2.35 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
