Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for
Demanding drivers: 3rd of 24 in 0–100 km/h (3.9 s), 7th of 24 in Top speed (250 km/h), 3rd of 24 in Power-to-weight (295 hp/t). 3rd of 24 in 0–100 km/h (3.9 s), 7th of 24 in Top speed (250 km/h), 3rd of 24 in Power-to-weight (295 hp/t).
Less suitable for
Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 10,2 L/100 km on the combined cycle, consumption rises in the city without electric assistance. An HEV or PHEV would be more economical for this use profile.
Alternatives to consider
If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the BMW M3 Competition xDrive (1st with 3.5 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the Kia Stinger GT 3.3T AWD (1st with 270 km/h) takes the lead.
Acceleration: 3.9 s 0-100 (3rd of 24 in 0–100 km/h)
In pure acceleration, the M3 Competition ranks 3rd of 24 in 0–100 km/h, 0.4 s off the reference BMW M3 Competition xDrive (3.5 s).
Top speed: 250 km/h (7th of 24 in Top speed)
Top speed of 250 km/h. The segment reference reaches 270 km/h.
