Off the line, the S 350 d 4MATIC Limousine Langversion hits 100 km/h in 5.47 s versus 7.73 s for the 220d. At this point, the S 350 d 4MATIC Limousine Langversion leads by 2.26 s and sits roughly 32 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the S 350 d 4MATIC Limousine Langversion is doing 131 km/h against 121 km/h for the 220d. The gap is 1.66 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the S 350 d 4MATIC Limousine Langversion crosses the line in 13.68 s versus 15.79 s. The 2.11 s gap represents roughly 84 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the S 350 d 4MATIC Limousine Langversion continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 185 km/h versus 167 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the S 350 d 4MATIC Limousine Langversion finishes in 24.99 s versus 28.41 s, with a 3.42 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the S 350 d 4MATIC Limousine Langversion is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the 220d at 224 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 (7.19 kg/hp vs 7.74 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.01 seconds. The 2.26 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, S 350 d 4MATIC Limousine Langversion W223 wins (5,47 s vs 7,73 s).
S 350 d 4MATIC Limousine Langversion W223 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,47 seconds (calibrated simulation).
