Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II vs BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II is the quicker car, covering it in 14.15 s at 96.6 mph against the BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh’s 16.34 s — a margin of 2.19 s. To 60 mph the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II takes 5.51 s and the BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh 8.02 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II or the BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh faster?
The Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 14.15 s to the BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh's 16.34 s, a margin of 2.19 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 5.51 s against 8.02 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II 0-60 time?
The Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II reaches 60 mph in 5.51 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.15 s at 96.6 mph.
What is the BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh 0-60 time?
The BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh reaches 60 mph in 8.02 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.34 s at 83.6 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II trips the lights at 96.6 mph and the BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh at 83.6 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 9 of 10 for the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II and 2 of 2 for the BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
