Off the line, the E 220 d hits 100 km/h in 7.59 s versus 7.64 s for the Bmw 520d Touring. The 0.05 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 520d Touring is doing 114 km/h against 118 km/h for the E 220 d. The gap is 0.17 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the E 220 d crosses the line in 15.51 s versus 15.55 s. The 0.04 s gap represents roughly 1 m of track
Past 400 metres, the E 220 d continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 166 km/h versus 158 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the E 220 d finishes in 28.12 s versus 28.89 s, with a 0.77 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw 520d Touring is capped at 220 km/h, the E 220 d at 236 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 (9.31 kg/hp vs 9.49 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.96 seconds. The 0.05 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.
