Off the line, the A3 allstreet hits 100 km/h in 6.33 s versus 7.61 s for the Bmw 220d. At this point, the A3 allstreet leads by 1.28 s and sits roughly 24 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A3 allstreet is doing 119 km/h against 120 km/h for the Bmw 220d. The gap is 0.93 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the A3 allstreet crosses the line in 14.84 s versus 15.67 s. The 0.83 s gap represents roughly 34 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the A3 allstreet continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 167 km/h versus 168 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A3 allstreet finishes in 27.40 s versus 28.21 s, with a 0.81 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (238 vs 235 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 235 km/h, the Bmw 220d never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor — it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.23 kg/hp vs 7.92 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.91 seconds. The 1.28 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
