Off the line, the F-PACE SVR hits 100 km/h in 4.35 s versus 6.86 s for the Bmw iX3. Despite lacking instant torque, 550 hp of power compensates. At this point, the F-PACE SVR leads by 2.51 s and sits roughly 20 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the F-PACE SVR is doing 154 km/h against 126 km/h for the Bmw iX3. The gap is 1.79 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the F-PACE SVR crosses the line in 12.30 s versus 15.07 s. The 2.77 s gap represents roughly 114 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the F-PACE SVR continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 216 km/h versus 172 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F-PACE SVR finishes in 22.05 s versus 27.54 s, with a 5.48 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the F-PACE SVR is capped at 285 km/h, the Bmw iX3 at 180 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 10.53 seconds. The 2.51 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, F-PACE SVR wins (4,35 s vs 6,86 s).
F-PACE SVR goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,35 seconds (calibrated simulation).
