P7 vs Kodiaq 2.0 TSI 220 4x4 7DSG: chronicle of a drag race at 215 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the P7 hits 100 km/h in 6.58 s versus 7.21 s for the Kodiaq 2.0 TSI 220 4x4 7DSG. The instant torque of 390 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the P7 leads by 0.63 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the P7 is doing 127 km/h against 120 km/h for the Kodiaq 2.0 TSI 220 4x4 7DSG. The gap is 0.28 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the P7 crosses the line in 14.81 s versus 15.38 s. The 0.56 s gap represents roughly 23 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the P7 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 170 km/h versus 164 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the P7 finishes in 27.64 s versus 28.21 s, with a 0.57 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (215 km/h), the Kodiaq 2.0 TSI 220 4x4 7DSG never recovers its launch deficit.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 170 km/h, the P7 never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor — it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.73 seconds. The 0.63 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Xpeng P7 has a clear edge over the Skoda Kodiaq 2.0 TSI 220 4x4 7DSG to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
