Off the line, the 220d xDrive Active Tourer hits 100 km/h in 7.46 s versus 8.42 s for the 220d Active Tourer. At this point, the 220d xDrive Active Tourer leads by 0.96 s and sits roughly 15 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 220d xDrive Active Tourer is doing 118 km/h against 115 km/h for the 220d Active Tourer. The gap is 0.63 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 220d xDrive Active Tourer crosses the line in 15.49 s versus 16.26 s. The 0.78 s gap represents roughly 30 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 220d xDrive Active Tourer continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 162 km/h versus 159 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 220d xDrive Active Tourer finishes in 28.47 s versus 29.52 s, with a 1.04 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (220 vs 220 km/h), preventing any comeback.
The 220d xDrive Active Tourer features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the 220d Active Tourer’s FWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the 220d xDrive Active Tourer and the 220d Active Tourer are governed to 222 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 (8.13 kg/hp vs 9.60 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.60 seconds. The 0.96 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.
