Off the line, the Bmw 216d Active Tourer hits 100 km/h in 11.24 s versus 11.36 s for the Bmw 216d Gran Tourer. Despite the faster sprint time, the Bmw 216d Gran Tourer is 8 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 216d Gran Tourer is doing 102 km/h against 104 km/h for the Bmw 216d Active Tourer. The gap is 0.26 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 216d Gran Tourer crosses the line in 18.06 s versus 18.18 s. The 0.13 s gap represents roughly 5 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. Past 400 metres, both rivals hit the same electronic ceiling at 192 km/h. Neither can claw back ground through top speed - the outcome hinges on the acceleration curve between 100 and 192 km/h.
At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 216d Active Tourer finishes in 32.71 s versus 32.93 s. The 0.22 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw 216d Active Tourer is capped at 195 km/h, the Bmw 216d Gran Tourer at 192 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 (12.24 kg/hp vs 12.76 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 19.19 seconds. The 0.12 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.
