Off the line, the F-PACE P400e hits 100 km/h in 5.37 s versus 7.46 s for the Bmw 320e. At this point, the F-PACE P400e leads by 2.09 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the F-PACE P400e is doing 137 km/h against 115 km/h for the Bmw 320e. The gap is 0.92 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 15.43 s. The 1.83 s gap represents roughly 70 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 158 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F-PACE P400e finishes in 24.60 s versus 28.77 s, with a 4.17 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (220 vs 215 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the F-PACE P400e and the Bmw 320e are governed to 220 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.55 kg/hp vs 8.65 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.74 seconds. The 2.09 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
