Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225 vs BMW X2 M35i F39

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the BMW X2 M35i F39 is the quicker car, covering it in 13.06 s at 104.9 mph against the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225’s 14.51 s — a margin of 1.45 s. To 60 mph the BMW X2 M35i F39 takes 4.48 s and the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225 6.00 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225 or the BMW X2 M35i F39 faster?
The BMW X2 M35i F39. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.06 s to the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225's 14.51 s, a margin of 1.45 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 4.48 s against 6.00 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
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. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.51 s at 94.0 mph.
What is the BMW X2 M35i F39 0-60 time?
The BMW X2 M35i F39 reaches 60 mph in 4.48 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.06 s at 104.9 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225 trips the lights at 94.0 mph and the BMW X2 M35i F39 at 104.9 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 2 of 2 for the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225 and 9 of 10 for the BMW X2 M35i F39. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
