Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Toyota GR Yaris is the quicker car,
covering it in 13.40 s at
103.6 mph against the MG ZS 1.5 VTi-TECH’s
17.59 s — a margin of
4.20 s. To 60 mph the Toyota GR Yaris takes
4.86 s and the MG ZS 1.5 VTi-TECH
9.92 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass,
rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures.
Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
9/10 for the Toyota GR Yaris,

so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Toyota GR Yaris or the MG ZS 1.5 VTi-TECH faster?
The Toyota GR Yaris. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.40 s to the MG ZS 1.5 VTi-TECH's 17.59 s, a margin of 4.20 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 4.86 s against 9.92 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Toyota GR Yaris 0-60 time?
The Toyota GR Yaris reaches 60 mph in 4.86 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.40 s at 103.6 mph.
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. It covers the standing quarter mile in 17.59 s at 79.5 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Toyota GR Yaris trips the lights at 103.6 mph and the MG ZS 1.5 VTi-TECH at 79.5 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 9 of 10 for the Toyota GR Yaris and 2 of 2 for the MG ZS 1.5 VTi-TECH. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
