Off the line, the MG4 Long Range RWD hits 100 km/h in 6.73 s versus 12.34 s for the Dolphin Active 70kW. At this point, the MG4 Long Range RWD leads by 5.61 s and sits roughly 33 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the MG4 Long Range RWD is doing 129 km/h against 101 km/h for the Dolphin Active 70kW. The gap is 2.54 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 18.84 s. The 3.93 s gap represents roughly 128 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 136 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the MG4 Long Range RWD finishes in 27.23 s versus 34.35 s, with a 7.12 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the MG4 Long Range RWD is capped at 180 km/h, the Dolphin Active 70kW at 150 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 (7.00 kg/hp vs 14.79 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 21.36 seconds. The 5.61 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
