Off the line, the 220i Gran Tourer hits 100 km/h in 7.57 s versus 7.76 s for the 220d. The 0.19 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the 220i Gran Tourer is doing 121 km/h against 119 km/h for the 220d. The gap is 0.06 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 220i Gran Tourer crosses the line in 15.55 s versus 15.72 s. The 0.17 s gap represents roughly 7 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the 220i Gran Tourer continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 168 km/h versus 164 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 220i Gran Tourer finishes in 28.08 s versus 28.54 s, with a 0.45 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (222 vs 222 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the 220i Gran Tourer and the 220d 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 (7.73 kg/hp vs 7.82 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.25 seconds. The 0.19 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 220i Gran Tourer F22 wins (7,57 s vs 7,76 s).
220i Gran Tourer F22 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 7,57 seconds (calibrated simulation).
