Off the line, the P7 hits 100 km/h in 6.58 s versus 9.36 s for the Bmw 218i Active Tourer. The instant torque of 390 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the P7 leads by 2.78 s and sits roughly 20 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the P7 is doing 127 km/h against 110 km/h for the Bmw 218i Active Tourer. The gap is 1.34 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the P7 crosses the line in 14.81 s versus 16.89 s. The 2.08 s gap represents roughly 77 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the P7 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 170 km/h versus 152 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the P7 finishes in 27.64 s versus 30.73 s, with a 3.09 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (205 km/h), the Bmw 218i Active Tourer never recovers its launch deficit.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the P7 is capped at 170 km/h, the Bmw 218i Active Tourer 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 15.28 seconds. The 2.78 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
