About the GLA (X156) 220d 4MATIC 177

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA (X156) 220d 4MATIC 177 is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel SUV of 1,595 kg with 174 bhp, which works out at 109 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.15 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 4,413th quickest to 60 mph, and the 565th quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. It leaves better than it pulls: 87.8 mph at the lights is only the 6,005th 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 GLA (X156) 220d 4MATIC 177 reaches 60 mph in 6.85 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,413th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercedes-Benz GLA (X156) 220d 4MATIC 177 quarter mile time?
15.31 s at 87.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.69 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.15 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercedes-Benz GLA (X156) 220d 4MATIC 177 have?
174 bhp and 1,595 kg, which is 109 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbodiesel, with 7 gears and a quoted top speed of 217 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mercedes-Benz GLA (X156) 220d 4MATIC 177?
Closest here on pace: VW Tiguan 2.0 TSI 4MOTION 180 (2016) (6.84 s), Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2.2 180 (6.84 s), VW Tiguan Allspace 2.0 TSI 4MOTION 190 (6.85 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz GLA (X156) 220d 4MATIC 177 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) 220d 4MATIC 177 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.
