Off the line, the 750Ld xDrive hits 100 km/h in 4.63 s versus 8.85 s for the 218d. At this point, the 750Ld xDrive leads by 4.22 s and sits roughly 27 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 750Ld xDrive is doing 145 km/h against 112 km/h for the 218d. The gap is 2.44 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 750Ld xDrive crosses the line in 12.84 s versus 16.56 s. The 3.72 s gap represents roughly 135 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 750Ld xDrive continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 203 km/h versus 155 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 750Ld xDrive finishes in 23.18 s versus 30.12 s, with a 6.94 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 750Ld xDrive is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the 218d 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 combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.95 kg/hp vs 9.63 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.40 seconds. The 4.22 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 750Ld xDrive G11 wins (4,63 s vs 8,85 s).
750Ld xDrive G11 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,63 seconds (calibrated simulation).
