Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225 vs Mazda CX-30 2.0 SKYACTIVE 122

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 Mazda CX-30 2.0 SKYACTIVE 122’s 17.59 s — a margin of 3.08 s. To 60 mph the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225 takes 6.00 s and the Mazda CX-30 2.0 SKYACTIVE 122 10.11 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 Mazda CX-30 2.0 SKYACTIVE 122 faster?
The Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 14.51 s to the Mazda CX-30 2.0 SKYACTIVE 122's 17.59 s, a margin of 3.08 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 6.00 s against 10.11 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 Mazda CX-30 2.0 SKYACTIVE 122 0-60 time?
The Mazda CX-30 2.0 SKYACTIVE 122 reaches 60 mph in 10.11 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 17.59 s at 78.8 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225 trips the lights at 94.0 mph and the Mazda CX-30 2.0 SKYACTIVE 122 at 78.8 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 Mazda CX-30 2.0 SKYACTIVE 122. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
