Ranger Raptor V6 292 vs MG4 Long Range RWD: chronicle of a drag race at 180 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Ranger Raptor V6 292 hits 100 km/h in 5.95 s versus 6.73 s for the MG4 Long Range RWD. Despite lacking instant torque, 292 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Ranger Raptor V6 292 leads by 0.78 s and sits roughly 19 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Ranger Raptor V6 292 is doing 127 km/h against 129 km/h for the MG4 Long Range RWD. The gap is 0.70 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Ranger Raptor V6 292 crosses the line in 14.27 s versus 14.92 s. The 0.64 s gap represents roughly 28 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows.
At 1,000 metres, the Ranger Raptor V6 292 finishes in 26.65 s versus 27.23 s, with just 0.58 s to spare. The MG4 Long Range RWD fails to fully close the launch gap.
What the numbers don’t tell you
The Ranger Raptor V6 292 features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the MG4 Long Range RWD’s RWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Ranger Raptor V6 292 and the MG4 Long Range RWD are governed to 180 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold — an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.07 seconds. The 0.78 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Ford Ranger Raptor V6 292 has a clear edge over the MG MG4 Long Range RWD to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
