The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Model X P100D hits 100 km/h in 3.05 s versus 4.04 s for the SQ7 SUV. The instant torque of 967 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Model X P100D leads by 0.99 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Model X P100D is doing 167 km/h against 154 km/h for the SQ7 SUV. The gap is 0.83 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 12.11 s. The 1.14 s gap represents roughly 59 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the Model X P100D continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 231 km/h versus 214 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X P100D finishes in 20.13 s versus 21.94 s, with a 1.81 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.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Model X P100D and the SQ7 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.

Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.95 seconds. The 0.99 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
