MG ZS 1.5 VTi-TECH

The MG ZS 1.5 VTi-TECH reaches 60 mph in 9.92 s (100 km/h in 10.50 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.59 s, tripping the lights at 79.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.91 s and the eighth mile in 11.38 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 ZS 1.5 VTi-TECH

The 2017 MG ZS 1.5 VTi-TECH is a front-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,239 kg with 105 bhp, which works out at 84 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.91 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 9,980th quickest to 60 mph, and the 48th quickest of the 61 MGs here. Its 79.5 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 ZS 1.5 VTi-TECH 0-60 time?
The MG ZS 1.5 VTi-TECH reaches 60 mph in 9.92 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,980th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the MG ZS 1.5 VTi-TECH quarter mile time?
17.59 s at 79.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.38 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.91 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the MG ZS 1.5 VTi-TECH have?
105 bhp and 1,239 kg, which is 84 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 ZS 1.5 VTi-TECH?
Closest here on pace: Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero/Shogun SWB 3.2 DI-D 200 (10.00 s), Nissan Qashqai 1.6 dCI CVT 130 (2013) (9.98 s), Nissan Qashqai 1.6 dCI CVT 130 (2018) (9.98 s). Each one can be raced against the MG ZS 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 ZS 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.
