Off the line, the F-PACE P400e hits 100 km/h in 5.37 s versus 6.83 s for the Bmw 320d. The instant torque of 640 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the F-PACE P400e leads by 1.46 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the F-PACE P400e is doing 137 km/h against 120 km/h for the Bmw 320d. The gap is 0.67 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the F-PACE P400e crosses the line in 13.60 s versus 14.95 s. The 1.35 s gap represents roughly 54 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the F-PACE P400e continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 191 km/h versus 166 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F-PACE P400e finishes in 24.60 s versus 27.60 s, with a 3.00 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (240 km/h), the Bmw 320d never recovers its launch deficit.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the F-PACE P400e is capped at 220 km/h, the Bmw 320d at 240 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.
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 11.30 seconds. The 1.46 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
