Off the line, the Model X P100D hits 100 km/h in 3.05 s versus 6.13 s for the Q5 SUV. At this point, the Model X P100D leads by 3.08 s and sits roughly 17 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model X P100D is doing 167 km/h against 127 km/h for the Q5 SUV. The gap is 2.23 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model X P100D crosses the line in 10.97 s versus 14.41 s. The 3.44 s gap represents roughly 141 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model X P100D continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 231 km/h versus 176 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X P100D finishes in 20.13 s versus 26.35 s, with a 6.23 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) vs 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Model X P100D and the Q5 SUV are governed to 249 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.24 kg/hp vs 7.19 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.81 seconds. The 3.08 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Model X P100D wins (3,05 s vs 6,13 s).
Model X P100D goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,05 seconds (calibrated simulation).
Model X P100D: 762 hp, ratio 3,24 kg/hp. Q5 SUV: 299 hp, ratio 7,19 kg/hp.
Model X P100D: 250 km/h. Q5 SUV: 250 km/h.
