About the GLA (X156) 200 156

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA (X156) 200 156 is a front-drive turbocharged SUV of 1,395 kg with 154 bhp, which works out at 111 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 5,765th quickest to 60 mph, and the 751st quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 88.1 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.

15.93 s at 88.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.37 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 have?
154 bhp and 1,395 kg, which is 111 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 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?
Closest here on pace: Ford C-Max 2.0 TDCi 170 (7.65 s), Skoda Karoq 1.5 TSI 150 (7.61 s), Volvo XC40 T4 190 (7.59 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz GLA (X156) 200 156 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 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.
