What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the MG6?
3 Answers
The MG6 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.6 seconds. The MG6 is a sports compact car under the MG brand. The MG6 features technologies such as central direct injection, low-inertia exhaust turbocharging, high-pressure fuel injection, integrated exhaust manifold in the cylinder head, and variable oil pump, which enable the engine to deliver better power performance and balanced fuel efficiency. To achieve higher transmission efficiency, the MG6 is equipped with a 7-speed DCT transmission with a dry structure that can withstand a maximum input torque of 250 Nm and boasts a transmission efficiency of up to 97%. This transmission is compatible with both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive vehicles, providing a hardware foundation for the development of SAIC's all-wheel-drive models. The primary task of this 7-speed DCT transmission is to ensure smooth shifting, and its compatibility with all-wheel-drive vehicles offers a hardware basis for model development.
I drove the 2021 MG6 Trophy edition, with a measured 0-100km/h acceleration time of 7.83 seconds. This car features a 1.5T engine paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. In sport mode, when launching at 2500rpm, the front wheels experience slight wheelspin. It has considerable modification potential - just installing a high-flow air filter and flashing a stage 1 tune can bring it into the high 6-second range. My friend's car achieved 6.83 seconds after switching to PS4 tires. For its price range, it delivers hot hatch-level performance, being half a second faster than a stock Civic. However, the transmission protection is quite strict - torque output gets limited after three consecutive launches.
Last time I accompanied my nephew who just got his driver's license for a test drive, the 4S salesperson said the official acceleration time is 7.7 seconds. In actual driving, it feels quite punchy, especially noticeable turbo lag after 3,000 rpm, with more decisive mid-range acceleration compared to the Shadow Leopard 1.5T. However, note that cold starts require thorough oil warming - winter testing shows about 0.5 seconds slower. The factory-equipped Giti F22 tires have average grip, and early ESP intervention during launch affects performance - turning off the stability control system can improve by 0.3 seconds.
