Xpeng G6 vs BMW X2 xDrive25d F39: which is truly faster?

Off the line, the Bmw X2 xDrive25d hits 100 km/h in 6.68 s versus 6.82 s for the G6. Despite lacking instant torque, 231 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Bmw X2 xDrive25d leads by 0.14 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.

At 200 metres, the Bmw X2 xDrive25d is doing 124 km/h against 126 km/h for the G6. The gap is 0.19 s. The gap remains stable from the start.

At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw X2 xDrive25d crosses the line in 14.88 s versus 14.96 s. The 0.08 s gap represents roughly 3 m of track — barely a car length.

Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The G6 maxes out at 200 km/h while the Bmw X2 xDrive25d keeps accelerating towards 234 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.06 s.

Around 517 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the G6 overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 34 km/h higher top speed.

At 1,000 metres, the G6 finishes in 26.81 s versus 27.20 s. The 0.38 s delta shows an extremely tight race.

The Bmw X2 xDrive25d 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 Bmw X2 xDrive25d at 237 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 10.69 seconds. The 0.14 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
