Off the line, the Model Y Long Range AWD hits 100 km/h in 5.05 s versus 8.59 s for the Bmw X2 sDrive20d. The instant torque of 533 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Model Y Long Range AWD leads by 3.54 s and sits roughly 18 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model Y Long Range AWD is doing 143 km/h against 112 km/h for the Bmw X2 sDrive20d. The gap is 1.86 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model Y Long Range AWD crosses the line in 13.27 s versus 16.35 s. The 3.08 s gap represents roughly 113 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model Y Long Range AWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 197 km/h versus 154 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model Y Long Range AWD finishes in 23.97 s versus 29.99 s, with a 6.03 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (217 vs 210 km/h), preventing any comeback.
The Model Y Long Range AWD features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Bmw X2 sDrive20d’s RWD. 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 Y Long Range AWD is capped at 217 km/h, the Bmw X2 sDrive20d at 210 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.
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 14.32 seconds. The 3.54 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
