Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225 vs Lexus NX 300 235
Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225 is the quicker car,
covering it in 14.51 s at
94.0 mph against the Lexus NX 300 235’s
14.91 s — a margin of
0.40 s. To 60 mph the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225 takes
6.00 s and the Lexus NX 300 235
6.22 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass,
rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
2/2 for the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225,
2/2 for the Lexus NX 300 235 —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225 or the Lexus NX 300 235 faster?
The Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 14.51 s to the Lexus NX 300 235's 14.91 s, a margin of 0.40 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 6.00 s against 6.22 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 Lexus NX 300 235 0-60 time?
The Lexus NX 300 235 reaches 60 mph in 6.22 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.91 s at 89.8 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225 trips the lights at 94.0 mph and the Lexus NX 300 235 at 89.8 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 2 of 2 for the Lexus NX 300 235. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
