Off the line, the P7 hits 100 km/h in 6.58 s versus 7.28 s for the Countryman E FWD. At this point, the P7 leads by 0.70 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the P7 is doing 127 km/h against 121 km/h for the Countryman E FWD. The gap is 0.39 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the P7 crosses the line in 14.81 s versus 15.47 s. The 0.66 s gap represents roughly 27 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the P7 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 170 km/h versus 162 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the P7 finishes in 27.64 s versus 28.65 s, with a 1.01 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (170 vs 170 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the P7 and the Countryman E FWD are governed to 170 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.59 kg/hp vs 8.92 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.67 seconds. The 0.70 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, P7 wins (6,58 s vs 7,28 s).
P7 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,58 seconds (calibrated simulation).
