Off the line, the G 500 hits 100 km/h in 5.40 s versus 7.07 s for the Q7 SUV. At this point, the G 500 leads by 1.68 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the G 500 is doing 133 km/h against 117 km/h for the Q7 SUV. The gap is 0.75 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the G 500 crosses the line in 13.68 s versus 15.11 s. The 1.43 s gap represents roughly 56 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the G 500 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 183 km/h versus 162 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the G 500 finishes in 25.19 s versus 28.09 s, with a 2.90 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (226 km/h), the Q7 SUV never recovers its launch deficit.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the G 500 is capped at 210 km/h, the Q7 SUV at 226 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 combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.53 kg/hp vs 9.09 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.95 seconds. The 1.68 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
