Mercedes-Benz CLA (C117) 200 156 DCT

The Mercedes-Benz CLA (C117) 200 156 DCT reaches 60 mph in 7.11 s (100 km/h in 7.54 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.52 s, tripping the lights at 90.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.47 s and the eighth mile in 10.03 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 CLA (C117) 200 156 DCT

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA (C117) 200 156 DCT is a front-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,430 kg with 154 bhp, which works out at 108 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 4,884th quickest to 60 mph, and the 637th quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 90.5 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 Mercedes-Benz CLA (C117) 200 156 DCT 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz CLA (C117) 200 156 DCT reaches 60 mph in 7.11 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,884th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercedes-Benz CLA (C117) 200 156 DCT quarter mile time?
15.52 s at 90.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.03 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 CLA (C117) 200 156 DCT have?
154 bhp and 1,430 kg, which is 108 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 7 gears and a quoted top speed of 230 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mercedes-Benz CLA (C117) 200 156 DCT?
Closest here on pace: BMW 3 Series (F30) 320d Efficient Dynamics 163 Auto (7.12 s), VW Passat Alltrack 2.0 TDI 4MOTION 190 (7.13 s), BMW 5 Series 520i 184 (7.12 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz CLA (C117) 200 156 DCT 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 CLA (C117) 200 156 DCT 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.
