Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225 vs Porsche Macan 265 PS

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Porsche Macan 265 PS is the quicker car, covering it in 14.15 s at 95.4 mph against the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225’s 14.51 s — a margin of 0.35 s. To 60 mph the Porsche Macan 265 PS takes 5.48 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 Porsche Macan 265 PS faster?
The Porsche Macan 265 PS. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 14.15 s to the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225's 14.51 s, a margin of 0.35 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 5.48 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 Porsche Macan 265 PS 0-60 time?
The Porsche Macan 265 PS reaches 60 mph in 5.48 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.15 s at 95.4 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC 225 trips the lights at 94.0 mph and the Porsche Macan 265 PS at 95.4 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 Porsche Macan 265 PS. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
