Off the line, the Bmw 118d hits 100 km/h in 8.65 s versus 10.23 s for the Focus EcoBoost MHEV 125. At this point, the Bmw 118d leads by 1.58 s and sits roughly 14 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 118d is doing 113 km/h against 106 km/h for the Focus EcoBoost MHEV 125. The gap is 0.69 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 118d crosses the line in 16.41 s versus 17.47 s. The 1.06 s gap represents roughly 38 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 118d continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 157 km/h versus 146 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 118d finishes in 29.82 s versus 31.88 s, with a 2.06 s lead.
Electronically capped at 218 km/h, the Bmw 118d 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 (9.37 kg/hp vs 10.85 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 17.18 seconds. The 1.58 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.
