THE NEW DEFENDER OCTA
MASTER OF EXTREME PERFORMANCE ON-ROAD AND OFF-ROAD
The New Defender OCTA
The most dynamically accomplished Defender ever created, the new Defender OCTA uniquely combines toughness, luxury, and all-terrain prowess. Bespoke modifications outside and in create an imposing, exclusive high-performance offering.
Under the Bonnet
Under the bonnet lays a 4.4-litre twin turbocharged V8 engine with mild-hybrid assistance. This sends 635hp and 750Nm to all four wheels through an 8-speed automatic transmission. 0-60mph requires just 3.8 seconds. With 22" wheels and all-season tyres fitted, the model can reach 155mph.
Stability and Power
OCTA sits 28mm higher than standard, and its wheel arches have been widened by 68mm. This ensures superior ground clearance and stability on any terrain. The 6D Dynamics system uses hydraulically-interlinked semi-active suspension to virtually eliminate pitch and roll on-road, while allowing you to take your adventure further off-road. OCTA can go deeper too, with a maximum wading depth of one metre - the deepest of any Defender.
Performance and Style
OCTA is set apart through its performance, but also its style. Optimised front bodywork sees a unique grille design to allow greater under-bonnet airflow. Underbody protection is formed from an aluminium shield at the front of the car. Widened wheel arches house 20-22" wheels and tyres of up to 33" in diameter, while a new four-exit exhaust system emerges at the rear.
Luxurious Interior
Inside, all-new Performance Seats feature on the front row, complete with integrated audio speakers. All five-seats can be upholstered in Ultrafabrics or leather upholstery. Available for the first year of production in 2025 is the Edition One, complete with chopped carbon fibre detailing outside and in, and is finished in Faroe Green.
