Off the line, the Macan S hits 100 km/h in 5.37 s versus 6.90 s for the Bmw X4 xDrive25d. At this point, the Macan S leads by 1.53 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Macan S is doing 135 km/h against 121 km/h for the Bmw X4 xDrive25d. The gap is 0.83 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Macan S crosses the line in 13.65 s versus 15.07 s. The 1.41 s gap represents roughly 57 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Macan S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 188 km/h versus 167 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Macan S finishes in 24.85 s versus 27.65 s, with a 2.80 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Macan S is capped at 251 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Bmw X4 xDrive25d at 230 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 (5.49 kg/hp vs 7.60 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.19 seconds. The 1.53 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.
