Off the line, the MONA M03 hits 100 km/h in 7.45 s versus 8.36 s for the MG5 Long Range FWD. At this point, the MONA M03 leads by 0.91 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the MONA M03 is doing 126 km/h against 121 km/h for the MG5 Long Range FWD. The gap is 0.54 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the MONA M03 crosses the line in 15.48 s versus 16.27 s. The 0.79 s gap represents roughly 32 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the MONA M03 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 174 km/h versus 164 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the MONA M03 finishes in 27.51 s versus 29.07 s, with a 1.56 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the MONA M03 is capped at 200 km/h, the MG5 Long Range FWD at 185 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 (7.60 kg/hp vs 8.33 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 0.91 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, MONA M03 wins (7,45 s vs 8,36 s).
MONA M03 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 7,45 seconds (calibrated simulation).
