Off the line, the Macan S hits 100 km/h in 5.28 s versus 5.63 s for the 530d xDrive Touring. Despite the faster sprint time, the 530d xDrive Touring is 2 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the Macan S is doing 138 km/h against 129 km/h for the 530d xDrive Touring. The gap is 0.13 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Macan S crosses the line in 13.52 s versus 13.94 s. The 0.42 s gap represents roughly 18 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Macan S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 190 km/h versus 181 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Macan S finishes in 24.59 s versus 25.56 s, with a 0.96 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (251 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) vs 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Macan S and the 530d xDrive Touring are governed to 251 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) 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 (5.49 kg/hp vs 6.73 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.07 seconds. The 0.35 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.
