Introducing the Defender OCTA. Its name is derived from the toughest and most desirable mineral on earth – a diamond – and the octahedral shape that gives their distinctive appearance and durability.
- The most dynamically accomplished Defender ever created
- Features a 4.4‑litre Twin Turbo mild‑hybrid V8 producing 635 HP
- Achieves 0-60mph in 3.8 seconds
- Exclusive specification: New Defender OCTA Edition One
- Priced from £145,300
This remarkable model combines ruggedness, capability, and luxury, pushing the boundaries of what a 4x4 vehicle can achieve.
Powered by a 4.4-litre Twin Turbo mild-hybrid V8 engine, the Defender OCTA is the most powerful and most extreme Defender to date. With an impressive 635 HP and 750 Nm of torque, it accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds. Blink, and you will miss it.
But it's not all about speed; this Defender is engineered to conquer challenging terrains, going beyond what any Defender has achieved before. The introduction of hydraulically‑interlinked 6D Dynamics suspension technology for the first time allows it to handle rough trails with ease.
The ride height has been raised by 28mm, the stance has been broadened by 68mm, and the wheel arches have been extended, all contributing to a more commanding appearance. Redesigned bumpers enhance approach and departure angles, while the underbody protection provides added durability on rough terrain. And, if you are feeling adventurous, the Defender OCTA can wade through up to one meter of water - a feat unmatched by any previous Defender.
It also features uprated 400mm front brake discs with Brembo calipers and the fastest steering ratio of any Defender to date.
With New Defender OCTA we have been able to unlock the full potential of Defender. It is the very definition of breadth of capability, and a testament to what we can achieve utilising the very best technologies and talents within our engineering division. With its powerful V8 engine, ground‑breaking 6D Dynamics suspension technology, exquisite finishes and unique detailing, it is rare, incredibly tough, and inherently desirable.
