Off the line, the Model X 90D hits 100 km/h in 5.03 s versus 7.32 s for the Cooper SE FWD. At this point, the Model X 90D leads by 2.29 s and sits roughly 19 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model X 90D is doing 147 km/h against 124 km/h for the Cooper SE FWD. The gap is 1.55 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 15.46 s. The 2.39 s gap represents roughly 97 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model X 90D continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 205 km/h versus 150 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X 90D finishes in 23.32 s versus 29.86 s, with a 6.54 s lead.
The Model X 90D features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Cooper SE FWD’s FWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
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 Cooper SE FWD at 150 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 7.42 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.21 seconds. The 2.29 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
