Introducing the ultimate hero for the original British adventure brand Defender: New Defender OCTA. The toughest, most capable model in the unstoppable 4x4 family, taking the luxury and capability of Defender 110 to an unparalleled level. Powered by a 4.4‑litre Twin Turbo mild‑hybrid V8 engine, the OCTA model is the most extreme and most powerful Defender ever made, with 635PS and up to 750Nm of torque enabling 0‑60mph in 3.8 seconds. A heavily revised chassis components combined with innovative technologies, including 6D Dynamics suspension, ensure its dynamic capabilities are truly in a league of its own.
New Defender OCTA prices start from £145,300.
Defender OCTA sits 28mm higher and has a stance widened by 68mm, for superior ground clearance and stability. To ensure unparalleled confidence and control on any terrain, with both maximum wheel articulation off‑road and reduced roll on‑road, revised suspension components include longer and tougher wishbones, and unique active dampers with separate accumulators. A bespoke testing and development programme with more than 13,960 additional tests, including high‑speed off‑road durability, as well as high‑speed on‑road durability, had to be created for Defender OCTA, as the team entered realms of capability and robustness that have never been explored before.
Tough Luxury
Like a diamond, New Defender OCTA is a rare combination of extreme toughness and luxury – its name is inspired by the hardest and most desirable mineral on earth.
Unparalleled Presence
Imposing stance and bold new design set New Defender OCTA apart, while new signature graphic pays homage to its diamond‑like credentials.
Dedicated Modes
All‑new OCTA Mode – the first performance‑focused off‑road mode on a Defender – unlocks full off‑road prowess, plus dedicated anti‑lock braking and launch control.
For more technical off‑road manoeuvres, Defender’s suite of familiar Terrain Response modes remain at the driver’s fingertips, with specific calibrations for Sand, Mud and Ruts, Grass Gravel Snow, and Rock Crawl – assisted by off‑road driver aids such as ClearSight Ground View, which effectively makes the bonnet transparent for improved visibility and reassurance off the beaten track.
