Off the line, the Formentor VZ e-Hybrid hits 100 km/h in 6.54 s versus 6.92 s for the X2 xDrive25e. Despite the faster sprint time, the X2 xDrive25e is 2 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the Formentor VZ e-Hybrid is doing 127 km/h against 121 km/h for the X2 xDrive25e. The gap is 0.08 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Formentor VZ e-Hybrid crosses the line in 14.71 s versus 15.05 s. The 0.34 s gap represents roughly 14 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Formentor VZ e-Hybrid continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 175 km/h versus 167 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Formentor VZ e-Hybrid finishes in 26.77 s versus 27.66 s, with a 0.89 s lead.
The X2 xDrive25e features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Formentor VZ e-Hybrid’s FWD. 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 Formentor VZ e-Hybrid is capped at 225 km/h, the X2 xDrive25e at 195 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 (6.83 kg/hp vs 7.86 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.30 seconds. The 0.38 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
