Off the line, the Terramar hits 100 km/h in 8.31 s versus 9.16 s for the X2 sDrive18d. The instant torque of 300 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Terramar leads by 0.85 s and sits roughly 1 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Terramar is doing 116 km/h against 110 km/h for the X2 sDrive18d. The gap is 0.17 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Terramar crosses the line in 16.25 s versus 16.72 s. The 0.47 s gap represents roughly 18 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Terramar continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 160 km/h versus 152 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Terramar finishes in 29.41 s versus 30.60 s, with a 1.19 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (214 vs 206 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 207 km/h, the X2 sDrive18d never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
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 15.20 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, Terramar wins (8,31 s vs 9,16 s).
Terramar goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 8,31 seconds (calibrated simulation).
