Off the line, the Bmw 220i Gran Tourer hits 100 km/h in 7.57 s versus 7.59 s for the Bmw 220d Active Tourer. The 0.02 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 220i Gran Tourer is doing 121 km/h against 121 km/h for the Bmw 220d Active Tourer. The gap is 0.10 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 220i Gran Tourer crosses the line in 15.55 s versus 15.67 s. The 0.12 s gap represents roughly 5 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 220i Gran Tourer continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 168 km/h versus 166 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 220i Gran Tourer finishes in 28.08 s versus 28.32 s, with a 0.24 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (222 vs 224 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Bmw 220i Gran Tourer and the Bmw 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 (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 11.92 seconds. The 0.02 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.
Over 0–100 km/h, 220i Gran Tourer F22 and 220d Active Tourer F44 are neck and neck (7,57 s vs 7,59 s, no significant gap).
