The All-New Defender Octa: Ultimate Power Meets Extreme Capability

The Defender Octa stands as the most powerful, luxurious, and capable Defender ever engineered. Launched to global acclaim at Goodwood, it’s built to dominate both on-road and off-road arenas.

At the heart of the Defender Octa lies a twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 engine, producing an impressive 635 horsepower and 750 Nm of torque. This incredible powertrain enables the Octa to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds, making it the fastest and most powerful Defender ever built. Complementing this powerhouse is a 48-volt mild-hybrid system that not only enhances torque delivery but also boosts efficiency, ensuring that performance and responsibility go hand in hand.

Braking in the Octa is equally impressive, thanks to the integrated power brake system. With purpose-built callipers, brake pads, and discs, the vehicle delivers reliable, fade-free stopping power at high speeds.

One of the standout features of the Defender Octa is its ground-breaking 6D Dynamics air suspension system. This advanced setup utilises hydraulically interconnected dampers and adjustable air springs to deliver car-like handling on the road while maintaining impeccable control over rough terrain.

Off the beaten track, the Defender Octa proves its worth with a wading depth of up to one metre, doubling that of previous Defender models. Whether you’re crossing rivers or navigating floodwater, this SUV is built to push boundaries.

Pricing for the Defender Octa starts at £148,045 in the UK. This includes a suite of high-end features as standard, such as 22-inch gloss-black wheels, cooled and heated 14-way memory seats, and the full breadth of off-road and performance enhancements that define the OCTA experience.

What truly sets the Octa apart is not just its raw performance, but its complete redefinition of what an off-road SUV can be. It’s a vehicle that excels on both tarmac and trail, blending cutting-edge technology, motorsport-inspired engineering, and classic Land Rover DNA. The Octa is the pinnacle of the Defender family, an SUV built to "embrace the impossible" and push the limits of adventure, performance, and luxury.

For drivers who demand the very best, the Defender OCTA isn’t just a new model, it’s a bold statement. Whether navigating rugged landscapes or arriving in ultimate style, it delivers a driving experience that’s simply unmatched.
