Off the line, the XC40 B4 hits 100 km/h in 8.23 s versus 11.62 s for the Bmw 216d Gran Tourer. At this point, the XC40 B4 leads by 3.39 s and sits roughly 23 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the XC40 B4 is doing 115 km/h against 101 km/h for the Bmw 216d Gran Tourer. The gap is 1.29 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the XC40 B4 crosses the line in 16.10 s versus 18.15 s. The 2.05 s gap represents roughly 69 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the XC40 B4 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 158 km/h versus 140 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the XC40 B4 finishes in 29.39 s versus 33.18 s, with a 3.79 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (180 vs 192 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the XC40 B4 is capped at 180 km/h, the Bmw 216d 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 (8.17 kg/hp vs 12.84 kg/hp) and transmission (auto vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 19.76 seconds. The 3.39 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
