CONFIDENCE 99%The MG ZS reaches 100 km/h first (11.58 s vs 11.82 s), but the 5008 BlueHDi is ahead at every metre of the race. Explanation: the 5008 BlueHDi accelerates harder at low speed and builds a distance gap before either car hits 100 km/h.
Why this result?
The MG MG ZS 1.0T FWD is faster at 0-100 km/h, but the Peugeot 5008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8 compensates at high speed thanks to higher peak power or top speed. At 400 m, Peugeot 5008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8 leads by 0.07 s.

5008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8 vs MG ZS 1.0T FWD: chronicle of a drag race at 201 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the MG ZS 1.0T FWD hits 100 km/h in 11.58 s versus 11.82 s for the 5008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8. Despite the faster sprint time, the 5008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8 is 5 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the 5008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8 is doing 102 km/h against 104 km/h for the MG ZS 1.0T FWD. The gap is 0.15 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 5008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8 crosses the line in 18.51 s versus 18.58 s. The 0.07 s gap represents roughly 3 m of track — barely a car length.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the 5008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 142 km/h versus 142 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 5008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8 finishes in 33.30 s versus 33.45 s, with a 0.15 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 170 km/h, the MG ZS 1.0T FWD 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 combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (12.98 kg/hp vs 12.07 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 19.52 seconds. The 0.24 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
MG MG ZS 1.0T FWD is slightly faster than the Peugeot 5008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8 to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
