The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Bmw i5 M60 xDrive Touring hits 100 km/h in 3.90 s versus 4.06 s for the Taycan 4S Cross Turismo. At this point, the Bmw i5 M60 xDrive Touring leads by 0.16 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Bmw i5 M60 xDrive Touring is doing 150 km/h against 153 km/h for the Taycan 4S Cross Turismo. The gap is 0.10 s. The gap remains stable from the start.

At 400 metres standing start, the Taycan 4S Cross Turismo crosses the line in 12.14 s versus 12.16 s. The 0.02 s gap represents roughly 1 m of track

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the Taycan 4S Cross Turismo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 216 km/h versus 207 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Taycan 4S Cross Turismo finishes in 21.88 s versus 22.30 s, with a 0.41 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (240 vs 230 km/h), preventing any comeback.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Taycan 4S Cross Turismo is capped at 240 km/h, the Bmw i5 M60 xDrive Touring 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 electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.06 kg/hp vs 4.55 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.03 seconds. The 0.16 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
