Off the line, the G6 hits 100 km/h in 6.82 s versus 9.49 s for the X2 sDrive18i. The instant torque of 440 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the G6 leads by 2.67 s and sits roughly 13 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the G6 is doing 126 km/h against 108 km/h for the X2 sDrive18i. The gap is 1.05 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the G6 crosses the line in 14.96 s versus 16.88 s. The 1.92 s gap represents roughly 69 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the G6 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 177 km/h versus 149 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the G6 finishes in 26.81 s versus 31.04 s, with a 4.23 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (200 vs 202 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the G6 is capped at 200 km/h, the X2 sDrive18i at 205 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 16.03 seconds. The 2.67 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, G6 wins (6,82 s vs 9,49 s).
G6 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,82 seconds (calibrated simulation).
