Off the line, the Bmw 225d hits 100 km/h in 6.40 s versus 8.36 s for the DS9 E-Tense 250. Despite lacking instant torque, 224 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Bmw 225d leads by 1.96 s and sits roughly 23 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 225d is doing 130 km/h against 121 km/h for the DS9 E-Tense 250. The gap is 1.28 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 225d crosses the line in 14.61 s versus 16.22 s. The 1.61 s gap represents roughly 66 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 225d continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 180 km/h versus 170 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 225d finishes in 26.28 s versus 28.57 s, with a 2.29 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (235 vs 243 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 243 km/h, the Bmw 225d never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor — it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.32 seconds. The 1.96 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
