Off the line, the 320d xDrive hits 100 km/h in 6.97 s versus 7.73 s for the 220d. At this point, the 320d xDrive leads by 0.76 s and sits roughly 22 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 320d xDrive is doing 119 km/h against 121 km/h for the 220d. The gap is 0.78 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 320d xDrive crosses the line in 15.09 s versus 15.79 s. The 0.70 s gap represents roughly 29 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The 220d maxes out at 224 km/h while the 320d xDrive keeps accelerating towards 232 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.64 s.
At 1,000 metres, the 320d xDrive finishes in 27.84 s versus 28.41 s, with just 0.58 s to spare. The 220d fails to fully close the launch gap.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 220d is capped at 224 km/h, the 320d xDrive at 233 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 (7.74 kg/hp vs 8.11 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.01 seconds. The 0.76 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
