Off the line, the Macan S hits 100 km/h in 4.73 s versus 7.07 s for the Q7 SUV. At this point, the Macan S leads by 2.34 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Macan S is doing 142 km/h against 117 km/h for the Q7 SUV. The gap is 1.18 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Macan S crosses the line in 12.97 s versus 15.11 s. The 2.14 s gap represents roughly 83 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 197 km/h versus 162 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Macan S finishes in 23.67 s versus 28.09 s, with a 4.42 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Macan S is capped at 259 km/h, the Q7 SUV at 226 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 (5.68 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 11.95 seconds. The 2.34 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.
