About the GLC (X253) 300 4MATIC 258

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC (X253) 300 4MATIC 258 is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged SUV of 1,730 kg with 255 bhp, which works out at 147 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.01 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 2,727th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 322nd quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 96.6 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.

Closest here on pace: Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II (5.51 s), Porsche Macan 265 PS (5.48 s), Mazda CX-60 SKYACTIV-G 328 KH Pre face-lift (5.56 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz GLC (X253) 300 4MATIC 258 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 GLC (X253) 300 4MATIC 258 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.
