Mercedes-Benz A-Class (W176) 220 4MATIC 183 (2012)

The Mercedes-Benz A-Class (W176) 220 4MATIC 183 (2012) reaches 60 mph in 6.60 s (100 km/h in 7.04 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.08 s, tripping the lights at 89.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.13 s and the eighth mile in 9.56 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) 220 4MATIC 183

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz A-Class (W176) 220 4MATIC 183 (2012) is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged car of 1,505 kg with 181 bhp, which works out at 120 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.13 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,009th quickest to 60 mph, and the 511th quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. It leaves better than it pulls: 89.7 mph at the lights is only the 5,297th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

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) 220 4MATIC 183 (2012) 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.
