Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240 vs Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 Mk II
Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 Mk II is the quicker car,
covering it in 13.46 s at
104.2 mph against the Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240’s
15.62 s — a margin of
2.16 s. To 60 mph the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 Mk II takes
4.92 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.

8/10 for the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 Mk II —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240 or the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 Mk II faster?
The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 Mk II. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.46 s to the Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240's 15.62 s, a margin of 2.16 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 4.92 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 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 Mk II 0-60 time?
The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 Mk II reaches 60 mph in 4.92 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.46 s at 104.2 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 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 Mk II at 104.2 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 8 of 10 for the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 Mk II. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
