Off the line, the A5 Sedan hits 100 km/h in 7.72 s versus 7.73 s for the Bmw 220d. The 0.01 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the A5 Sedan is doing 122 km/h against 121 km/h for the Bmw 220d. The gap is 0.00 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the A5 Sedan crosses the line in 15.71 s versus 15.79 s. The 0.08 s gap represents roughly 3 m of track — barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the A5 Sedan continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 171 km/h versus 167 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A5 Sedan finishes in 27.99 s versus 28.41 s, with a 0.42 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the A5 Sedan is capped at 248 km/h, the Bmw 220d at 224 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit — it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (8.31 kg/hp vs 7.74 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.01 seconds. The 0.01 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
