EV6 RWD Standard Range vs Bmw 318i Touring: chronicle of a drag race at 220 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Bmw 318i Touring hits 100 km/h in 8.57 s versus 8.63 s for the EV6 RWD Standard Range. Despite lacking instant torque, 156 hp of power compensates. The 0.06 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Bmw 318i Touring is doing 112 km/h against 114 km/h for the EV6 RWD Standard Range. The gap is 0.26 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 318i Touring crosses the line in 16.23 s versus 16.45 s. The 0.22 s gap represents roughly 8 m of track — barely a car length.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 318i Touring continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 156 km/h versus 153 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 318i Touring finishes in 29.74 s versus 30.22 s, with a 0.48 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the EV6 RWD Standard Range is capped at 185 km/h, the Bmw 318i Touring at 220 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit — it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.21 seconds. The 0.06 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Kia EV6 RWD Standard Range is slightly faster than the Bmw 318i Touring to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
