Off the line, the G6 hits 100 km/h in 3.80 s versus 6.92 s for the X2 xDrive25e. At this point, the G6 leads by 3.12 s and sits roughly 17 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the G6 is doing 152 km/h against 121 km/h for the X2 xDrive25e. The gap is 1.93 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the G6 crosses the line in 12.03 s versus 15.05 s. The 3.02 s gap represents roughly 119 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 200 km/h versus 167 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the G6 finishes in 22.89 s versus 27.66 s, with a 4.77 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (200 vs 195 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 xDrive25e at 195 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 (4.41 kg/hp vs 7.86 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.30 seconds. The 3.12 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, G6 wins (3,80 s vs 6,92 s).
G6 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,80 seconds (calibrated simulation).
