Mercedes-Benz A-Class (W176) 200 156

The Mercedes-Benz A-Class (W176) 200 156 reaches 60 mph in 7.34 s (100 km/h in 7.74 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.66 s, tripping the lights at 90.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.47 s and the eighth mile in 10.18 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 A-Class (W176) 200 156

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz A-Class (W176) 200 156 is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,370 kg with 154 bhp, which works out at 113 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.47 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 5,240th quickest to 60 mph, and the 674th quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 90.8 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 Mercedes-Benz A-Class (W176) 200 156 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz A-Class (W176) 200 156 reaches 60 mph in 7.34 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,240th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercedes-Benz A-Class (W176) 200 156 quarter mile time?
15.66 s at 90.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.18 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.47 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercedes-Benz A-Class (W176) 200 156 have?
154 bhp and 1,370 kg, which is 113 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 224 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mercedes-Benz A-Class (W176) 200 156?
Closest here on pace: Jaguar E-Pace P200 200 (7.33 s), Audi A6 2.0 TDI C7 facelift 190 PS (7.40 s), VW Golf GTD 3dr 2.0 TDI 170 (7.34 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz A-Class (W176) 200 156 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 Mercedes-Benz A-Class (W176) 200 156 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.
