Here’s a comparison of the BMW XM, Lamborghini Urus, Mercedes-AMG G63, and Audi SQ8 across various parameters such as drag race, range, battery, price, size, 0-100 km/h acceleration, and horsepower.
1. Drag Race (Performance)
BMW XM:
0-100 km/h: ~4.3 seconds.
The XM is a plug-in hybrid, delivering a solid blend of electric torque and gasoline engine power.
Verdict: Strong off-the-line with instant torque from the electric motor, but heavier due to hybrid components.
Lamborghini Urus:
0-100 km/h: ~3.6 seconds.
Uses a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 with explosive acceleration.
Verdict: The Urus is likely to win in a drag race thanks to its lighter weight and high-output engine.
AMG G63:
0-100 km/h: ~4.5 seconds.
A 4.0L twin-turbo V8 propels this heavyweight, but its aerodynamics limit top-end speed.
Verdict: While quick off the line, the G63’s bulk and boxy shape will make it the slowest.
Audi SQ8:
0-100 km/h: ~4.1 seconds.
4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine delivers power close to the Urus but in a more subdued manner.
Verdict: A solid contender, but won’t beat the Urus in raw acceleration.
Winner (Drag Race): Lamborghini Urus
2. Range (Fuel Efficiency & Electric Range)
BMW XM (Plug-in Hybrid):
Electric-only range: ~50-80 km (WLTP)
Total range with gasoline engine: ~550-600 km
Verdict: Excellent range due to hybrid setup.
Lamborghini Urus:
Range: ~450-500 km.
Not designed with efficiency in mind, more performance-focused.
AMG G63:
Range: ~450 km.
Thirsty V8 engine, with fuel efficiency being less of a priority.
Audi SQ8 (Mild-Hybrid):
Range: ~500-600 km.
Better efficiency than Urus due to the mild-hybrid tech.
Winner (Range): BMW XM
3. Battery (For Electrified Models)
BMW XM:
25.7 kWh battery.
Plug-in hybrid allows it to run in electric mode for short distances.
Audi SQ8:
48V mild-hybrid system, with a small battery to assist the engine for efficiency gains.
The Urus and G63 are not electrified, so they lack battery power.
Winner (Battery Tech): BMW XM
4. Price (Approximate starting prices, 2024)
BMW XM: $159,000
Lamborghini Urus: $230,000+
AMG G63: $180,000+
Audi SQ8: $110,000+
Winner (Price): Audi SQ8
