Off the line, the Cayenne Turbo hits 100 km/h in 4.46 s versus 6.63 s for the 225i xDrive Active Tourer. At this point, the Cayenne Turbo leads by 2.18 s and sits roughly 17 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne Turbo is doing 149 km/h against 126 km/h for the 225i xDrive Active Tourer. The gap is 1.45 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne Turbo crosses the line in 12.59 s versus 14.83 s. The 2.24 s gap represents roughly 93 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Cayenne Turbo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 206 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne Turbo finishes in 22.79 s versus 26.93 s, with a 4.14 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne Turbo is capped at 278 km/h, the 225i xDrive Active Tourer at 235 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 (4.34 kg/hp vs 6.58 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.33 seconds. The 2.18 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Cayenne Turbo wins (4,46 s vs 6,63 s).
Cayenne Turbo goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,46 seconds (calibrated simulation).
