Off the line, the Model X 90D hits 100 km/h in 5.03 s versus 5.30 s for the Bmw i5 xDrive40. Despite the faster sprint time, the Bmw i5 xDrive40 is 1 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the Model X 90D is doing 147 km/h against 137 km/h for the Bmw i5 xDrive40. The gap is 0.20 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model X 90D crosses the line in 13.07 s versus 13.59 s. The 0.52 s gap represents roughly 24 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Model X 90D continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 205 km/h versus 191 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X 90D finishes in 23.32 s versus 24.58 s, with a 1.26 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model X 90D is capped at 249 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Bmw i5 xDrive40 at 215 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 (4.59 kg/hp vs 5.79 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.09 seconds. The 0.27 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Model X 90D wins (5,03 s vs 5,30 s).
Model X 90D goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,03 seconds (calibrated simulation).
