Off the line, the Bmw 420d hits 100 km/h in 7.04 s versus 7.04 s for the Bmw 420d. The 0.00 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 420d is doing 119 km/h against 119 km/h for the Bmw 420d. The gap is 0.00 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 420d crosses the line in 15.10 s versus 15.10 s. The 0.00 s gap represents roughly 0 m of track
Past 400 metres, nothing changes. Same ceiling, same acceleration, same trajectory — both rivals run in formation to the line. The 0.00 s gap at 1,000 metres confirms what the specs already suggested: on track, they’re interchangeable. The real contest happens elsewhere — range, comfort, charging network reliability.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Bmw 420d and the Bmw 420d are governed to 240 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 (8.45 kg/hp vs 8.45 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.60 seconds. The 0.00 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.
