Off the line, the P7 hits 100 km/h in 4.22 s versus 7.28 s for the Countryman E FWD. At this point, the P7 leads by 3.07 s and sits roughly 24 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the P7 is doing 147 km/h against 121 km/h for the Countryman E FWD. The gap is 2.02 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the P7 crosses the line in 12.54 s versus 15.47 s. The 2.93 s gap represents roughly 114 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 162 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the P7 finishes in 25.24 s versus 28.65 s, with a 3.40 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (170 vs 170 km/h), preventing any comeback.
The P7 features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Countryman E FWD’s FWD. 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 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 (4.81 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 3.07 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, P7 wins (4,21 s vs 7,28 s).
P7 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,21 seconds (calibrated simulation).
