The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Bmw 216d Gran Tourer hits 100 km/h in 11.62 s versus 12.54 s for the Berlingo PureTech 110 FWD. At this point, the Bmw 216d Gran Tourer leads by 0.92 s and sits roughly 22 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Bmw 216d Gran Tourer is doing 101 km/h against 100 km/h for the Berlingo PureTech 110 FWD. The gap is 0.81 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 216d Gran Tourer crosses the line in 18.15 s versus 19.03 s. The 0.88 s gap represents roughly 30 m of track — two to three car lengths.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the Bmw 216d Gran Tourer continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 140 km/h versus 138 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 216d Gran Tourer finishes in 33.18 s versus 34.36 s, with a 1.19 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw 216d Gran Tourer is capped at 192 km/h, the Berlingo PureTech 110 FWD at 172 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 (12.84 kg/hp vs 12.82 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Manual).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 21.40 seconds. The 0.92 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
