Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240 vs GMC Yukon Denali

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the GMC Yukon Denali is the quicker car, covering it in 15.46 s at 93.7 mph against the Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240’s 15.62 s — a margin of 0.16 s. To 60 mph the GMC Yukon Denali takes 7.16 s and the Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240 7.19 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 Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240 or the GMC Yukon Denali faster?
The GMC Yukon Denali. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 15.46 s to the Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240's 15.62 s, a margin of 0.16 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 7.16 s against 7.19 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
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. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.62 s at 85.5 mph.
What is the GMC Yukon Denali 0-60 time?
The GMC Yukon Denali reaches 60 mph in 7.16 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.46 s at 93.7 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240 trips the lights at 85.5 mph and the GMC Yukon Denali at 93.7 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 Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240 and 9 of 9 for the GMC Yukon Denali. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
