Off the line, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 hits 100 km/h in 6.12 s versus 6.73 s for the MG4 Long Range RWD. At this point, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 leads by 0.61 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 is doing 135 km/h against 129 km/h for the MG4 Long Range RWD. The gap is 0.39 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 crosses the line in 14.29 s versus 14.92 s. The 0.62 s gap represents roughly 27 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 186 km/h versus 176 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 finishes in 25.87 s versus 27.23 s, with a 1.37 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (193 vs 180 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw i5 eDrive40 is capped at 193 km/h, the MG4 Long Range RWD at 180 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 electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (6.81 kg/hp vs 7.00 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.07 seconds. The 0.61 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.
