MG MG3 1.5 VTi-TECH

The MG MG3 1.5 VTi-TECH reaches 60 mph in 9.46 s (100 km/h in 10.01 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.29 s, tripping the lights at 80.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.83 s and the eighth mile in 11.16 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the MG3 1.5 VTi-TECH

The 2018 MG MG3 1.5 VTi-TECH is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,165 kg with 105 bhp, which works out at 90 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.83 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 9,186th quickest to 60 mph, and the 46th quickest of the 61 MGs here. Its 80.6 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the MG MG3 1.5 VTi-TECH 0-60 time?
The MG MG3 1.5 VTi-TECH reaches 60 mph in 9.46 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,186th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the MG MG3 1.5 VTi-TECH quarter mile time?
17.29 s at 80.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.16 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.83 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the MG MG3 1.5 VTi-TECH have?
105 bhp and 1,165 kg, which is 90 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 175 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the MG MG3 1.5 VTi-TECH?
Closest here on pace: Mitsubishi Colt 3dr 1.3 95 (9.46 s), Chevrolet Classic 1.8 Flexpower 109 (9.47 s), Datsun on-Do 1.6 106 (9.56 s). Each one can be raced against the MG MG3 1.5 VTi-TECH in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The MG MG3 1.5 VTi-TECH is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
