Bmw 520d vs Kadjar 1.3 TCe 160 EDC: chronicle of a drag race at 235 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Bmw 520d hits 100 km/h in 7.21 s versus 9.81 s for the Kadjar 1.3 TCe 160 EDC. At this point, the Bmw 520d leads by 2.60 s and sits roughly 44 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Bmw 520d is doing 118 km/h against 113 km/h for the Kadjar 1.3 TCe 160 EDC. The gap is 1.95 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 520d crosses the line in 15.24 s versus 17.37 s. The 2.12 s gap represents roughly 81 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 520d continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 163 km/h versus 159 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 520d finishes in 28.10 s versus 30.61 s, with a 2.51 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (8.68 kg/hp vs 9.03 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.73 seconds. The 2.60 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Bmw 520d has a clear edge over the Renault Kadjar 1.3 TCe 160 EDC to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
