Off the line, the E-PACE P200 hits 100 km/h in 8.35 s versus 11.67 s for the Bmw 216d Steptronic Gran Tourer. At this point, the E-PACE P200 leads by 3.32 s and sits roughly 29 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the E-PACE P200 is doing 115 km/h against 102 km/h for the Bmw 216d Steptronic Gran Tourer. The gap is 1.52 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the E-PACE P200 crosses the line in 16.19 s versus 18.40 s. The 2.21 s gap represents roughly 75 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the E-PACE P200 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 159 km/h versus 142 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the E-PACE P200 finishes in 29.41 s versus 33.25 s, with a 3.84 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the E-PACE P200 is capped at 215 km/h, the Bmw 216d Steptronic Gran Tourer at 192 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 (8.74 kg/hp vs 12.97 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 19.48 seconds. The 3.32 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.
