The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Model X Long Range hits 100 km/h in 4.11 s versus 6.92 s for the X2 xDrive25e. At this point, the Model X Long Range leads by 2.81 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Model X Long Range is doing 160 km/h against 121 km/h for the X2 xDrive25e. The gap is 1.80 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the Model X Long Range crosses the line in 11.92 s versus 15.05 s. The 3.13 s gap represents roughly 123 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the Model X Long Range continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 224 km/h versus 167 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X Long Range finishes in 21.31 s versus 27.66 s, with a 6.35 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model X Long Range is capped at 249 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the X2 xDrive25e at 195 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 (3.51 kg/hp vs 7.86 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.30 seconds. The 2.81 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
