Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240

The Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240 reaches 60 mph in 7.19 s (100 km/h in 7.93 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.62 s, tripping the lights at 85.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.15 s and the eighth mile in 9.87 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Discovery 2.0 SD4 240

The 2017 Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240 is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel SUV of 2,184 kg with 237 bhp, which works out at 109 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 5,003rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 20th quickest of the 86 Land Rovers here. It leaves better than it pulls: 85.5 mph at the lights is only the 7,068th 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.

Questions

What is the Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240 0-60 time?
The Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240 reaches 60 mph in 7.19 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,003rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240 quarter mile time?
15.62 s at 85.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.87 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.15 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240 have?
237 bhp and 2,184 kg, which is 109 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbodiesel, with 8 gears and a quoted top speed of 195 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240?
Closest here on pace: BMW X1 20d xDrive 184 Auto (7.15 s), VW Touareg 3.0 V6 TDI Technology Terrain Tech 245 (7.15 s), BMW X3 xDrive20d (G01) (7.15 s). Each one can be raced against the Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240 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 Discovery 2.0 SD4 240 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.
