Bmw 220i vs DS3 Crossback PureTech 155 EAT8: chronicle of a drag race at 230 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Bmw 220i hits 100 km/h in 7.12 s versus 9.00 s for the DS3 Crossback PureTech 155 EAT8. At this point, the Bmw 220i leads by 1.88 s and sits roughly 35 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Bmw 220i is doing 120 km/h against 118 km/h for the DS3 Crossback PureTech 155 EAT8. The gap is 1.49 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 220i crosses the line in 15.17 s versus 16.76 s. The 1.58 s gap represents roughly 63 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 220i continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 167 km/h versus 164 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 220i finishes in 27.79 s versus 29.59 s, with a 1.81 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 230 km/h, the Bmw 220i never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor — it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.83 kg/hp vs 7.88 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.40 seconds. The 1.88 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Bmw 220i has a clear edge over the DS DS3 Crossback PureTech 155 EAT8 to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
