Off the line, the Compass 4xe hits 100 km/h in 7.58 s versus 8.38 s for the Bmw X1 sDrive20d. The instant torque of 400 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Compass 4xe leads by 0.80 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Compass 4xe is doing 116 km/h against 113 km/h for the Bmw X1 sDrive20d. The gap is 0.42 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Compass 4xe crosses the line in 15.62 s versus 16.20 s. The 0.58 s gap represents roughly 22 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Compass 4xe continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 159 km/h versus 155 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Compass 4xe finishes in 28.87 s versus 29.75 s, with a 0.88 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (200 vs 210 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Compass 4xe is capped at 200 km/h, the Bmw X1 sDrive20d at 210 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 13.95 seconds. The 0.80 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Compass 4xe wins (7,58 s vs 8,38 s).
