Off the line, the A3 allstreet hits 100 km/h in 6.33 s versus 7.76 s for the 220d. At this point, the A3 allstreet leads by 1.43 s and sits roughly 21 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A3 allstreet is doing 119 km/h against 119 km/h for the 220d. The gap is 0.89 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the A3 allstreet crosses the line in 14.84 s versus 15.72 s. The 0.88 s gap represents roughly 35 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the A3 allstreet continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 167 km/h versus 164 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A3 allstreet finishes in 27.40 s versus 28.54 s, with a 1.14 s lead.
Electronically capped at 224 km/h, the 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.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.23 kg/hp vs 7.82 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.25 seconds. The 1.43 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
