Off the line, the MG4 Long Range RWD hits 100 km/h in 6.73 s versus 8.36 s for the DS9 E-Tense 250. At this point, the MG4 Long Range RWD leads by 1.63 s and sits roughly 19 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the MG4 Long Range RWD is doing 129 km/h against 121 km/h for the DS9 E-Tense 250. The gap is 1.04 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the MG4 Long Range RWD crosses the line in 14.92 s versus 16.22 s. The 1.30 s gap represents roughly 54 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the MG4 Long Range RWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 176 km/h versus 170 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the MG4 Long Range RWD finishes in 27.23 s versus 28.57 s, with a 1.33 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (235 km/h), the DS9 E-Tense 250 never recovers its launch deficit.
Electronically capped at 180 km/h, the MG4 Long Range RWD never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.51 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 12.32 seconds. The 1.63 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
