Off the line, the 545e xDrive hits 100 km/h in 4.68 s versus 5.37 s for the F-PACE P400e. At this point, the 545e xDrive leads by 0.70 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 545e xDrive is doing 143 km/h against 137 km/h for the F-PACE P400e. The gap is 0.50 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 545e xDrive crosses the line in 12.91 s versus 13.60 s. The 0.69 s gap represents roughly 32 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 545e xDrive continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 200 km/h versus 191 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 545e xDrive finishes in 23.40 s versus 24.60 s, with a 1.20 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the F-PACE P400e is capped at 220 km/h, the 545e xDrive at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) 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.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.55 kg/hp vs 4.94 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.18 seconds. The 0.70 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 545e xDrive G30 wins (4,67 s vs 5,37 s).
F-PACE P400e goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,37 seconds (calibrated simulation).
