About the Defender 130 D250 3.0 5-Seats 246

The 2022 Land Rover Defender 130 D250 3.0 5-Seats 246 is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel SUV of 2,550 kg with 243 bhp, which works out at 95 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.20 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 6,487th quickest to 60 mph, and the 29th quickest of the 86 Land Rovers here. It leaves better than it pulls: 83.1 mph at the lights is only the 8,267th 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.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Closest here on pace: Opel Grandland X 1.6 224 (8.05 s), MINI Countryman Cooper D ALL4 2.0 150 (2016) (7.89 s), MINI Countryman Cooper D ALL4 2.0 150 (2021) (8.05 s). Each one can be raced against the Land Rover Defender 130 D250 3.0 5-Seats 246 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 130 D250 3.0 5-Seats 246 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.
