Land Rover rewrites the rulebook for off-road performance with the explosive arrival of the Defender OCTA. It is the most powerful and capable iteration of the iconic SUV. Arriving soon in the Indian market, the Defender Octa boasts a starting price of Rs. 2.65 crores, with the exclusive OCTA Edition One priced at Rs. 2.85 crores (all prices ex-showroom).
Unleashing the Power Within
The heart of the Defender OCTA lies in its monstrous twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine, a mild-hybrid masterpiece generating a staggering 626 horsepower and a peak torque of 800 Nm. But power is just the beginning. Land Rover has meticulously engineered the Defender OCTA’s suspension and design to fully harness this newfound potential.
Engineered for Domination
Land Rover’s innovative 6D Dynamics chassis takes center stage, eliminating body roll and maximizing suspension articulation for unparalleled off-road prowess. The OCTA sits 1.1 inches higher and boasts a wider stance compared to the standard Defender, further enhanced by stronger cross arms and unique active dampers. Massive 15.7-inch front brakes with Brembo calipers provide exceptional stopping power.
Effortless Performance, Unwavering Capability
An eight-speed automatic transmission seamlessly handles the power, with the engine delivering a standard 750 Nm of torque. However, unleash the full fury of the beast by engaging “OCTA” mode, unlocking the full 800 Nm of torque. Land Rover boasts a 0-100 km/h time of just 4 seconds flat, all while riding on stylish 22-inch light-alloy wheels and all-season tires. For those seeking to conquer any terrain, the Defender OCTA effortlessly wades through up to 1 meter of water.
Luxury Redefined for Adventure
The interior of the Defender OCTA is a haven of comfort and style. New Performance Seats with integrated headrests and enhanced support offer a secure and immersive driving experience. Land Rover introduces its innovative Body and Soul Seat audio technology, allowing occupants to not only hear the music but also feel it. Choose from six wellness programs designed to relax or enhance cognitive function during your journey.
A Feast for the Eyes: Personalization Options Abound
Every Defender OCTA boasts a distinctive diamond graphic and contrasting Narvik Black roof and tailgate. The exterior color palette features a range of exclusive premium metallic finishes, including Petra Copper and Faroe Green, alongside Carpathian Grey and Charente Grey. All models feature a contrasting roof and tailgate in gloss Narvik Black. For the ultimate touch of personalization, customers can further customize their vehicle with an optional Matte Protective Film.
Optimized for Performance, Designed to Impress
The Defender OCTA’s design has been meticulously crafted for optimal ground clearance and stability. It sits 28 mm higher and has a 68 mm wider stance, which, combined with revised suspension components, offers maximum wheel articulation off-road and reduced body roll on-road. The OCTA also features 400 mm front brake discs with Brembo calipers and the fastest steering ratio of any Defender to date.
A Defender Unlike Any Other
The Land Rover Defender OCTA is more than just an SUV; it’s a statement. With its unparalleled power, unmatched off-road capability, and luxurious interior, the Defender Octa is the undisputed king of the untamed. Look for its public debut next week at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed from July 11-14.
