Off the line, the A3 allstreet hits 100 km/h in 7.44 s versus 7.73 s for the Bmw 220d. The instant torque of 350 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the A3 allstreet leads by 0.29 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A3 allstreet is doing 120 km/h against 121 km/h for the Bmw 220d. The gap is 0.20 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the A3 allstreet crosses the line in 15.61 s versus 15.79 s. The 0.18 s gap represents roughly 7 m of track — barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the A3 allstreet continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 168 km/h versus 167 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A3 allstreet finishes in 28.13 s versus 28.41 s, with a 0.28 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (230 vs 224 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 224 km/h, the Bmw 220d never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor — it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.01 seconds. The 0.29 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
