Off the line, the Urus SE hits 100 km/h in 3.46 s versus 5.15 s for the Q7 SUV. At this point, the Urus SE leads by 1.70 s and sits roughly 13 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Urus SE is doing 166 km/h against 139 km/h for the Q7 SUV. The gap is 1.35 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Urus SE crosses the line in 11.30 s versus 13.41 s. The 2.11 s gap represents roughly 97 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Urus SE continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 229 km/h versus 192 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Urus SE finishes in 20.49 s versus 24.35 s, with a 3.86 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Urus SE is capped at 312 km/h, the Q7 SUV at 240 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 (3.29 kg/hp vs 4.88 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.86 seconds. The 1.70 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
