Off the line, the 216i Active Tourer hits 100 km/h in 11.42 s versus 11.54 s for the 216i Gran Tourer. Despite the faster sprint time, the 216i Gran Tourer is 5 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the 216i Gran Tourer is doing 101 km/h against 102 km/h for the 216i Active Tourer. The gap is 0.17 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 216i Gran Tourer crosses the line in 18.11 s versus 18.18 s. The 0.07 s gap represents roughly 3 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. Past 400 metres, both rivals hit the same electronic ceiling at 188 km/h. Neither can claw back ground through top speed - the outcome hinges on the acceleration curve between 100 and 188 km/h.
At 1,000 metres, the 216i Active Tourer finishes in 33.07 s versus 33.26 s. The 0.20 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the 216i Active Tourer and the 216i Gran Tourer are governed to 190 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (12.52 kg/hp vs 12.94 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 20.02 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.
