Off the line, the 220i Gran Tourer hits 100 km/h in 7.53 s versus 8.14 s for the 220d Gran Tourer. At this point, the 220i Gran Tourer leads by 0.61 s and sits roughly 15 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 220i Gran Tourer is doing 119 km/h against 118 km/h for the 220d Gran Tourer. The gap is 0.57 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 220i Gran Tourer crosses the line in 15.52 s versus 16.10 s. The 0.57 s gap represents roughly 23 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 220i Gran Tourer continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 165 km/h versus 164 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 220i Gran Tourer finishes in 28.29 s versus 28.97 s, with a 0.68 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (220 vs 222 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the 220d Gran Tourer and the 220i Gran Tourer are governed to 220 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (8.18 kg/hp vs 8.40 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.70 seconds. The 0.61 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.
