Off the line, the Bmw 320d Touring hits 100 km/h in 7.55 s versus 8.00 s for the S60 B4. Despite the faster sprint time, the S60 B4 is 5 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the S60 B4 is doing 115 km/h against 121 km/h for the Bmw 320d Touring. The gap is 0.04 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 320d Touring crosses the line in 15.61 s versus 15.82 s. The 0.20 s gap represents roughly 8 m of track — barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 320d Touring continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 167 km/h versus 161 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 320d Touring finishes in 28.17 s versus 28.87 s, with a 0.70 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the S60 B4 is capped at 180 km/h, the Bmw 320d Touring at 229 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.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (8.27 kg/hp vs 8.24 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.00 seconds. The 0.45 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.
