About the CLA (C117) 220 4MATIC 170

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz CLA (C117) 220 4MATIC 170 is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,450 kg with 168 bhp, which works out at 116 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.23 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 5,211th quickest to 60 mph, and the 672nd quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. It leaves better than it pulls: 86.9 mph at the lights is only the 6,455th 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.

The Mercedes-Benz CLA (C117) 220 4MATIC 170 reaches 60 mph in 7.32 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,211th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercedes-Benz CLA (C117) 220 4MATIC 170 quarter mile time?
15.63 s at 86.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.91 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.23 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercedes-Benz CLA (C117) 220 4MATIC 170 have?
168 bhp and 1,450 kg, which is 116 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbodiesel, 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) 220 4MATIC 170?
Closest here on pace: Volvo V60 2.4 D5 205 (7.35 s), Jaguar XF (X250) 2.0 180 (7.25 s), Jaguar XF (X250) 2.7D 207 (7.37 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz CLA (C117) 220 4MATIC 170 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) 220 4MATIC 170 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.
