Off the line, the e:Ny1 hits 100 km/h in 7.76 s versus 8.36 s for the MG5 Long Range FWD. At this point, the e:Ny1 leads by 0.60 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the e:Ny1 is doing 122 km/h against 121 km/h for the MG5 Long Range FWD. The gap is 0.40 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the e:Ny1 crosses the line in 15.82 s versus 16.27 s. The 0.45 s gap represents roughly 18 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The e:Ny1 maxes out at 160 km/h while the MG5 Long Range FWD keeps accelerating towards 185 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.46 s.
Around 880 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the MG5 Long Range FWD overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 25 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the MG5 Long Range FWD finishes in 29.07 s versus 29.40 s. The 0.34 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the MG5 Long Range FWD is capped at 185 km/h, the e:Ny1 at 160 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 (8.33 kg/hp vs 8.34 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.50 seconds. The 0.60 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
