The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the G6 hits 100 km/h in 6.82 s versus 6.84 s for the X1 xDrive25e. The 0.02 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the X1 xDrive25e is doing 121 km/h against 126 km/h for the G6. The gap is 0.20 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.

At 400 metres standing start, the G6 crosses the line in 14.96 s versus 14.99 s. The 0.04 s gap represents roughly 2 m of track

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the G6 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 177 km/h versus 167 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the G6 finishes in 26.81 s versus 27.59 s, with a 0.77 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (200 vs 193 km/h), preventing any comeback.

What the numbers don’t tell you

The X1 xDrive25e features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the G6’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 G6 is capped at 200 km/h, the X1 xDrive25e at 193 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 (6.99 kg/hp vs 7.93 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.19 seconds. The 0.02 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
