Off the line, the Model X 100D hits 100 km/h in 4.64 s versus 5.15 s for the Q7 SUV. At this point, the Model X 100D leads by 0.52 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model X 100D is doing 148 km/h against 139 km/h for the Q7 SUV. The gap is 0.34 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model X 100D crosses the line in 12.78 s versus 13.41 s. The 0.63 s gap represents roughly 30 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Model X 100D continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 205 km/h versus 192 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X 100D finishes in 23.03 s versus 24.35 s, with a 1.32 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) vs 240 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model X 100D is capped at 249 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Q7 SUV at 240 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 plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.62 kg/hp vs 4.88 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.86 seconds. The 0.52 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Model X 100D wins (4,63 s vs 5,15 s).
Model X 100D goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,63 seconds (calibrated simulation).
