Off the line, the Bmw 320i Touring hits 100 km/h in 7.48 s versus 8.35 s for the E-PACE P200. At this point, the Bmw 320i Touring leads by 0.87 s and sits roughly 16 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 320i Touring is doing 117 km/h against 115 km/h for the E-PACE P200. The gap is 0.65 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 320i Touring crosses the line in 15.44 s versus 16.19 s. The 0.75 s gap represents roughly 29 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 320i Touring continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 162 km/h versus 159 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 320i Touring finishes in 28.40 s versus 29.41 s, with a 1.01 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 320i Touring at 230 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 8.53 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.46 seconds. The 0.87 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.
