Audi SQ2 vs AMG GLA 35: DRAG RACE! | MOTOR

[@sahemsamarneh9616]

That Quattro system is just sublime

[@alexinwood2723]

Agreed. No fuss, no hesitation, just propulsion

[@mattbourkevideo]

That SQ2 goes hard! But I love the sound of the GLA more.

[@KeliK1]

I really thought the Audi would get smashed. That SQ2 is brutal!

[@alexinwood2723]

So did I TBH, but Audis thrive when the grip is less than ideal. We saw that with RS6 vs E63

[@maxforde8928]

These drag videos never fail to excite. Well done.

[@MikeStevens]

I don't really like the styling of either of them (but I'm the weirdo who thinks the previous GLA was good-looking), but boy oh boy that GLA has some questions to answer around that price difference! More of a Q3 rival though I suppose.

[@sideswipeproductions]

IMO as funky as the SQ2’s interior is, there’s certainly a step up in cabin quality in the GLA, so I can see where some of that coin is going. SQ2 is a little pocket rocket though.

Alex - These Wheels and Motor videos are quite good and I know you are the lead man behind them, it's just a pity the subscriber count is so low on both channels, youtube make it rather difficult in a very competitive category such as automotive things to be seen, god speed.

Thanks Andy, I'm glad you're enjoying the vids. You're right, it is a challenge, although we're committed to making it work. I'm always keen for suggestions/feedback tho. Cheers for commenting.

Just curious what tyres both have in wet conditions especially tire choice makes a huge difference.. its funny if u look up both there quarter mile times the gla does a 13.9sec and the audi does a 14.1🤷‍♂️ comes down to tires

[@motorofficial]

An excellent question. SQ2 was on Bridgestone Turanza T002 while the GLA was running Continental Sportontact 6. Interesting that the GLA has the edge in ideal 400m times. The official 0-100km/h claims have the Audi in front (4.9sec vs 5.1)

[@almillin3207]

Good to see you guys used your noggin and started in the opposite direction for the standing start 1/4 mile race coz the unprepped start line would've been like ice...

[@quadcoreQ]

Can't wait to see the T-Roc R join the crew

[@scottnewman3126]

SQ2 offers a lot of bang for your buck! Funky little car.

[@imnengchannel]

Race start of Merc should turn on ESP sport mode

[@SmokinBuddha]

Why didn't you use the GLA 45 AMG?

[@patthecat9152]

Interesting... I thought all that extra cash would be worth something!

[@nobody....168]

Yeah quality of the interior and so. AUDIs are overpriced VWs

KZbin asked me for my latest bank statement just to watch this video

[@onkedilz198]

I'm sure they are both Haldex systems

[@nelsonstefden]

Sq2

[@sweetfreedomGB]

Merc looks like a pudding basin! Anyway, Audi clear winner

[@Famous_Flavours]

Less talking and more of the cars. You need to run at least 2 of each race type.

[@alexinwood2723]

Fair feedback Jai, cheers

The AMG looks more grown up, while the Audi looks good it has a funky vibe to it.

[@duigiud]

The title to this vid is wrong. The Benz shown in the vid is not a AMG GLA 35 which has 302 horsepower as stated. The one that’s racing in the vid is a GLA 250 with the smaller engine with 221 horsepower.

[@darbyharrison3876]

It is a 35 look at the badge, the front grill. The rims, the exhaust, the interior.
