The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the 330e hits 100 km/h in 5.91 s versus 5.98 s for the 7 E-Tense 4x4 300. The 0.07 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the 7 E-Tense 4x4 300 is doing 127 km/h against 134 km/h for the 330e. The gap is 0.14 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.

At 400 metres standing start, the 330e crosses the line in 14.09 s versus 14.27 s. The 0.17 s gap represents roughly 7 m of track - barely a car length.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the 330e continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 188 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 330e finishes in 25.24 s versus 26.41 s, with a 1.17 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (230 vs 230 km/h), preventing any comeback.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Electronically capped at 230 km/h, the 330e 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.

With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (6.23 kg/hp vs 6.06 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.63 seconds. The 0.07 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
