Off the line, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 Touring hits 100 km/h in 6.12 s versus 7.12 s for the A6 Avant e-tron. At this point, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 Touring leads by 1.00 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 Touring is doing 134 km/h against 123 km/h for the A6 Avant e-tron. The gap is 0.50 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 Touring crosses the line in 14.33 s versus 15.21 s. The 0.89 s gap represents roughly 37 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 Touring continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 184 km/h versus 172 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 Touring finishes in 25.96 s versus 27.38 s, with a 1.42 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (210 km/h), the A6 Avant e-tron never recovers its launch deficit.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw i5 eDrive40 Touring is capped at 193 km/h, the A6 Avant e-tron at 210 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 electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (6.96 kg/hp vs 7.38 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.13 seconds. The 1.00 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.
