Kodiaq 2.0 TSI 220 4x4 7DSG vs Bmw 220i Convertible: chronicle of a drag race at 220 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Kodiaq 2.0 TSI 220 4x4 7DSG hits 100 km/h in 7.21 s versus 7.69 s for the Bmw 220i Convertible. Despite the faster sprint time, the Bmw 220i Convertible is 3 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Kodiaq 2.0 TSI 220 4x4 7DSG is doing 120 km/h against 115 km/h for the Bmw 220i Convertible. The gap is 0.01 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Kodiaq 2.0 TSI 220 4x4 7DSG crosses the line in 15.38 s versus 15.61 s. The 0.23 s gap represents roughly 9 m of track — barely a car length.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Kodiaq 2.0 TSI 220 4x4 7DSG continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 164 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Kodiaq 2.0 TSI 220 4x4 7DSG finishes in 28.21 s versus 28.82 s, with a 0.60 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (215 vs 220 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 226 km/h, the Bmw 220i Convertible 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 (7.75 kg/hp vs 8.37 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.89 seconds. The 0.48 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Skoda Kodiaq 2.0 TSI 220 4x4 7DSG is slightly faster than the Bmw 220i Convertible to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
