Bmw 220d Gran Tourer vs MG HS 1.5T DCT FWD: chronicle of a drag race at 220 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Bmw 220d Gran Tourer hits 100 km/h in 7.96 s versus 9.21 s for the MG HS 1.5T DCT FWD. At this point, the Bmw 220d Gran Tourer leads by 1.25 s and sits roughly 23 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Bmw 220d Gran Tourer is doing 117 km/h against 114 km/h for the MG HS 1.5T DCT FWD. The gap is 0.96 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 220d Gran Tourer crosses the line in 15.83 s versus 16.94 s. The 1.10 s gap represents roughly 43 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 220d Gran Tourer continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 163 km/h versus 157 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 220d Gran Tourer finishes in 28.78 s versus 30.39 s, with a 1.60 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw 220d Gran Tourer is capped at 220 km/h, the MG HS 1.5T DCT FWD 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 9.17 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.37 seconds. The 1.25 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Bmw 220d Gran Tourer has a clear edge over the MG MG HS 1.5T DCT FWD to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
