Off the line, the 220d Convertible hits 100 km/h in 7.66 s versus 7.79 s for the 220d xDrive Gran Tourer. Despite the faster sprint time, the 220d xDrive Gran Tourer is 6 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the 220d xDrive Gran Tourer is doing 116 km/h against 120 km/h for the 220d Convertible. The gap is 0.14 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 220d Convertible crosses the line in 15.71 s versus 15.75 s. The 0.04 s gap represents roughly 2 m of track
Past 400 metres, the 220d Convertible continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 167 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 220d Convertible finishes in 28.34 s versus 28.89 s, with a 0.55 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (225 vs 217 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 220d Convertible is capped at 225 km/h, the 220d xDrive Gran Tourer at 218 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 (8.34 kg/hp vs 8.50 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.73 seconds. The 0.13 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 220d Convertible F22 wins (7,66 s vs 7,79 s).
220d Convertible F22 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 7,66 seconds (calibrated simulation).
