Bmw 220d Active Tourer vs 508 THP 160 EAT6: chronicle of a drag race at 226 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Bmw 220d Active Tourer hits 100 km/h in 8.12 s versus 9.59 s for the 508 THP 160 EAT6. At this point, the Bmw 220d Active Tourer leads by 1.47 s and sits roughly 29 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Bmw 220d Active Tourer is doing 116 km/h against 115 km/h for the 508 THP 160 EAT6. The gap is 1.16 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 220d Active Tourer crosses the line in 16.04 s versus 17.18 s. The 1.14 s gap represents roughly 45 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The Bmw 220d Active Tourer maxes out at 220 km/h while the 508 THP 160 EAT6 keeps accelerating towards 226 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 1.07 s.
At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 220d Active Tourer finishes in 29.18 s versus 30.11 s, with just 0.94 s to spare. The 508 THP 160 EAT6 fails to fully close the launch gap.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 220 km/h, the Bmw 220d Active Tourer 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 (9.60 kg/hp vs 8.68 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.22 seconds. The 1.47 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Bmw 220d Active Tourer has a clear edge over the Peugeot 508 THP 160 EAT6 to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
