Off the line, the Q7 SUV hits 100 km/h in 7.07 s versus 8.05 s for the Cayenne (Tiptronic S). At this point, the Q7 SUV leads by 0.98 s and sits roughly 16 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Q7 SUV is doing 117 km/h against 117 km/h for the Cayenne (Tiptronic S). The gap is 0.65 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Q7 SUV crosses the line in 15.11 s versus 15.79 s. The 0.68 s gap represents roughly 27 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Q7 SUV continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 162 km/h versus 163 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Q7 SUV finishes in 28.09 s versus 28.75 s, with a 0.66 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (220 vs 226 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Cayenne (Tiptronic S) and the Q7 SUV are governed to 227 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold — an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.38 kg/hp vs 9.09 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.92 seconds. The 0.98 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
