Off the line, the Model X Long Range hits 100 km/h in 4.30 s versus 4.84 s for the I-PACE EV400. At this point, the Model X Long Range leads by 0.54 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model X Long Range is doing 158 km/h against 141 km/h for the I-PACE EV400. The gap is 0.51 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model X Long Range crosses the line in 12.14 s versus 13.18 s. The 1.04 s gap represents roughly 49 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model X Long Range continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 221 km/h versus 192 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X Long Range finishes in 21.65 s versus 24.36 s, with a 2.71 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model X Long Range is capped at 249 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h, the I-PACE EV400 at 200 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 electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.67 kg/hp vs 5.52 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.37 seconds. The 0.54 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
