Off the line, the 220d Gran Tourer hits 100 km/h in 8.13 s versus 10.38 s for the 116d. At this point, the 220d Gran Tourer leads by 2.25 s and sits roughly 23 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 220d Gran Tourer is doing 117 km/h against 107 km/h for the 116d. The gap is 1.14 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 220d Gran Tourer crosses the line in 16.00 s versus 17.62 s. The 1.63 s gap represents roughly 59 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 220d Gran Tourer continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 161 km/h versus 148 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 220d Gran Tourer finishes in 29.05 s versus 31.80 s, with a 2.75 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 220d Gran Tourer is capped at 220 km/h, the 116d at 200 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 (8.21 kg/hp vs 11.85 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.91 seconds. The 2.25 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 220d Gran Tourer F44 wins (8,13 s vs 10,38 s).
220d Gran Tourer F44 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 8,13 seconds (calibrated simulation).
