Off the line, the Bmw 220d Gran Tourer hits 100 km/h in 8.13 s versus 11.42 s for the Bmw 216i Active Tourer. At this point, the Bmw 220d Gran Tourer leads by 3.29 s and sits roughly 26 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 220d Gran Tourer is doing 117 km/h against 102 km/h for the Bmw 216i Active Tourer. The gap is 1.42 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 220d Gran Tourer crosses the line in 16.00 s versus 18.18 s. The 2.18 s gap represents roughly 75 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 220d Gran Tourer continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 161 km/h versus 141 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 220d Gran Tourer finishes in 29.05 s versus 33.07 s, with a 4.01 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw 220d Gran Tourer is capped at 220 km/h, the Bmw 216i Active Tourer at 190 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 12.52 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 19.28 seconds. The 3.29 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.
