Off the line, the Model X 90D hits 100 km/h in 5.03 s versus 5.37 s for the F-PACE P400e. Despite the faster sprint time, the F-PACE P400e 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 F-PACE P400e. The gap is 0.22 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model X 90D crosses the line in 13.07 s versus 13.60 s. The 0.53 s gap represents roughly 25 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 24.60 s, with a 1.28 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 F-PACE P400e at 220 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 (4.59 kg/hp vs 5.55 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.18 seconds. The 0.34 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 5,37 s).
Model X 90D goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,03 seconds (calibrated simulation).
