About the GLA 250 4MATIC 225

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225 is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged SUV of 1,525 kg with 223 bhp, which works out at 146 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.06 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 3,254th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 403rd quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 94.0 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 GLA 250 4MATIC 225 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225 reaches 60 mph in 6.00 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,254th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225 quarter mile time?
14.51 s at 94.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.22 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.06 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225 have?
223 bhp and 1,525 kg, which is 146 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 8 gears and a quoted top speed of 240 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225?
Closest here on pace: Infiniti QX50 2.0 CVT 268 (6.01 s), Honda Passport 3.5 V6 280 (6.00 s), Mazda CX-7 2.3 Turbo 260 (5.90 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225 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 GLA 250 4MATIC 225 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.
