Off the line, the Bmw 330e xDrive Touring hits 100 km/h in 5.97 s versus 7.12 s for the A6 Avant e-tron. At this point, the Bmw 330e xDrive Touring leads by 1.15 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 330e xDrive Touring is doing 131 km/h against 123 km/h for the A6 Avant e-tron. The gap is 0.69 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 330e xDrive Touring crosses the line in 14.19 s versus 15.21 s. The 1.02 s gap represents roughly 43 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 330e xDrive Touring continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 184 km/h versus 172 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 330e xDrive Touring finishes in 25.61 s versus 27.38 s, with a 1.77 s lead.
The Bmw 330e xDrive Touring features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the A6 Avant e-tron’s RWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw 330e xDrive Touring is capped at 225 km/h, the A6 Avant e-tron at 210 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 plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (6.47 kg/hp vs 7.38 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs auto).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.13 seconds. The 1.15 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.
