About the GLA (X156) 200 156 DCT

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA (X156) 200 156 DCT is a front-drive turbocharged SUV of 1,435 kg with 154 bhp, which works out at 107 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.53 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 5,169th quickest to 60 mph, and the 660th quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 89.2 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 (X156) 200 156 DCT 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz GLA (X156) 200 156 DCT reaches 60 mph in 7.29 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,169th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercedes-Benz GLA (X156) 200 156 DCT quarter mile time?
15.71 s at 89.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.18 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.53 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercedes-Benz GLA (X156) 200 156 DCT have?
154 bhp and 1,435 kg, which is 107 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 7 gears and a quoted top speed of 216 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mercedes-Benz GLA (X156) 200 156 DCT?
Closest here on pace: VW Tiguan Allspace 2.0 TSI 4MOTION 180 (7.29 s), Volvo V60 Cross Country 2.0 D4 190 (7.32 s), Audi Q5 TDI Quattro GU (7.34 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz GLA (X156) 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 GLA (X156) 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.
