Off the line, the 118d xDrive hits 100 km/h in 8.62 s versus 9.90 s for the Jazz e:HEV. At this point, the 118d xDrive leads by 1.28 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 118d xDrive is doing 112 km/h against 106 km/h for the Jazz e:HEV. The gap is 0.43 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 118d xDrive crosses the line in 16.28 s versus 17.08 s. The 0.80 s gap represents roughly 28 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 118d xDrive continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 155 km/h versus 142 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 118d xDrive finishes in 29.87 s versus 31.95 s, with a 2.08 s lead.
The 118d xDrive features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Jazz e:HEV’s FWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 118d xDrive is capped at 210 km/h, the Jazz e:HEV at 170 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 (9.80 kg/hp vs 11.18 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 17.33 seconds. The 1.28 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
