BMW XM V LAMBO URUS V AMG G63 V AUDI SQ8: DRAG RACE

EV Channels Review

This video pits four high-performance SUVs against each other in a series of drag races and a rolling race. The contenders are the BMW XM, Lamborghini Urus Performante, Audi SQ8, and Mercedes-AMG G63. The BMW XM, despite being the 'pinnacle' of BMW's M range and featuring a hybrid V8 powertrain producing 653hp, is hampered by its substantial 2.8-tonne weight, impacting its drag race performance. The Lamborghini Urus Performante, with its 666hp V8, emerges as the clear winner in both standing and rolling drag races, showcasing superior traction and power delivery. The Audi SQ8, while the least powerful with 507hp, performs surprisingly well, often battling closely with the BMW and securing second place in the standing quarter-mile. The Mercedes-AMG G63, despite its imposing presence and 585hp V8, is the heaviest and slowest of the group, struggling to keep pace with the others. The video highlights the importance of weight and drivetrain grip in SUV drag races, with the Urus's combination of power and traction proving dominant.
