About the Defender 110 Hard Top 3.0 D250 249

The 2020 Land Rover Defender 110 Hard Top 3.0 D250 249 is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel SUV of 2,497 kg with 245 bhp, which works out at 98 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.15 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 5,459th quickest to 60 mph, and the 22nd quickest of the 86 Land Rovers here. It leaves better than it pulls: 85.0 mph at the lights is only the 7,254th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Each one can be raced against the Land Rover Defender 110 Hard Top 3.0 D250 249 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Land Rover Defender 110 Hard Top 3.0 D250 249 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
