Off the line, the Bmw 218d Active Tourer hits 100 km/h in 9.16 s versus 10.41 s for the Bmw 216i Active Tourer. At this point, the Bmw 218d Active Tourer leads by 1.25 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 218d Active Tourer is doing 112 km/h against 105 km/h for the Bmw 216i Active Tourer. The gap is 0.30 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 218d Active Tourer crosses the line in 16.82 s versus 17.50 s. The 0.69 s gap represents roughly 25 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 218d Active Tourer continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 155 km/h versus 146 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 218d Active Tourer finishes in 30.37 s versus 31.91 s, with a 1.55 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (210 vs 206 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw 218d Active Tourer is capped at 210 km/h, the Bmw 216i Active Tourer at 206 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 (9.70 kg/hp vs 12.05 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 17.46 seconds. The 1.25 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.
