Off the line, the V 300 d 4MATIC hits 100 km/h in 8.32 s versus 11.24 s for the 216d Active Tourer. At this point, the V 300 d 4MATIC leads by 2.92 s and sits roughly 38 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the V 300 d 4MATIC is doing 114 km/h against 104 km/h for the 216d Active Tourer. The gap is 1.73 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the V 300 d 4MATIC crosses the line in 16.03 s versus 18.18 s. The 2.16 s gap represents roughly 75 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the V 300 d 4MATIC continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 156 km/h versus 145 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the V 300 d 4MATIC finishes in 29.55 s versus 32.71 s, with a 3.16 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the V 300 d 4MATIC is capped at 217 km/h, the 216d Active Tourer at 195 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 (9.44 kg/hp vs 12.24 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 18.36 seconds. The 2.92 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.
