Off the line, the 330d xDrive Touring hits 100 km/h in 5.31 s versus 5.98 s for the 7 E-Tense 4x4 300. Despite lacking instant torque, 265 hp of power compensates. At this point, the 330d xDrive Touring leads by 0.68 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 330d xDrive Touring is doing 133 km/h against 127 km/h for the 7 E-Tense 4x4 300. The gap is 0.37 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 330d xDrive Touring crosses the line in 13.64 s versus 14.27 s. The 0.63 s gap represents roughly 27 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 330d xDrive Touring continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 185 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 330d xDrive Touring finishes in 24.99 s versus 26.41 s, with a 1.41 s lead.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the 330d xDrive Touring 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 9.63 seconds. The 0.68 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 330d xDrive Touring G20 wins (5,30 s vs 5,98 s).
