CR-V vs MG HS 1.5T DCT FWD: chronicle of a drag race at 205 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the CR-V hits 100 km/h in 8.35 s versus 9.21 s for the MG HS 1.5T DCT FWD. At this point, the CR-V leads by 0.86 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the CR-V is doing 118 km/h against 114 km/h for the MG HS 1.5T DCT FWD. The gap is 0.54 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the CR-V crosses the line in 16.25 s versus 16.94 s. The 0.68 s gap represents roughly 27 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the CR-V continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 162 km/h versus 157 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the CR-V finishes in 29.27 s versus 30.39 s, with a 1.11 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
The CR-V features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the MG HS 1.5T DCT FWD’s FWD. 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 are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the CR-V is capped at 205 km/h, the MG HS 1.5T DCT FWD at 190 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 (8.52 kg/hp vs 9.17 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.37 seconds. The 0.86 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Honda CR-V has a clear edge over the MG MG HS 1.5T DCT FWD to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
