Off the line, the G 500 hits 100 km/h in 5.40 s versus 6.12 s for the X7 xDrive40d. At this point, the G 500 leads by 0.73 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the G 500 is doing 133 km/h against 126 km/h for the X7 xDrive40d. The gap is 0.42 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the G 500 crosses the line in 13.68 s versus 14.39 s. The 0.71 s gap represents roughly 31 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 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the G 500 finishes in 25.19 s versus 26.45 s, with a 1.27 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (245 km/h), the X7 xDrive40d 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 X7 xDrive40d at 245 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 7.26 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.90 seconds. The 0.73 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
