Off the line, the F-PACE P400e hits 100 km/h in 5.37 s versus 5.91 s for the 730d xDrive. The instant torque of 640 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. The 0.54 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the F-PACE P400e is doing 137 km/h against 128 km/h for the 730d xDrive. The gap is 0.26 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 14.19 s. The 0.59 s gap represents roughly 26 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the F-PACE P400e continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 191 km/h versus 178 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F-PACE P400e finishes in 24.60 s versus 25.95 s, with a 1.36 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h), the 730d xDrive 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 730d 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.
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 9.48 seconds. The 0.54 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, F-PACE P400e wins (5,37 s vs 5,91 s).
F-PACE P400e goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,37 seconds (calibrated simulation).
