Land Rover has launched the Defender Octa in India, marking it as the most powerful and rugged Defender ever built. With a starting price of ₹2.59 crore (ex-showroom) and the Edition One variant priced ₹20 lakh higher, the Octa sets a new benchmark in luxury off-roading.
Powerful Performance
At the heart of the Defender Octa is a 4.4-litre twin-turbo mild-hybrid V8 engine, delivering a massive 626 hp and 800 Nm of torque. This power allows the SUV to sprint from 0 to 100 kmph in just 3.8 seconds, reaching a top speed of 250 kmph. The eight-speed automatic transmission ensures smooth and responsive performance across various terrains.
Enhanced Driving Dynamics
The Octa is designed for both off-road adventures and highway cruising, featuring a significantly upgraded chassis and Land Rover’s advanced 6D Dynamics suspension system. This system minimizes pitch and roll, providing superior stability and comfort on all terrains.
Bold and Rugged Design
The Defender Octa sports an aggressive stance with a higher ride height and wider body. The extended wheel arches and redesigned bumpers not only enhance its visual appeal but also improve approach and departure angles for better off-road capability. Additionally, an underbody protection system shields essential components from rough terrain damage.
Unmatched Off-Roading Capabilities
Built to handle extreme conditions, the Octa boasts an impressive one-meter water-wading capability, reinforcing its reputation as the most capable Defender to date. It also introduces the exclusive Octa Mode, which fine-tunes systems like ABS and launch control to optimize traction and stability.
Luxury and Comfort
Inside, the Defender Octa is equipped with advanced Body and Soul Seat technology, offering high-performance seats made from durable, lightweight materials. The Edition One variant features an exclusive Faroe Green exterior, Khaki/Ebony Ultrafabrics PU interiors, and 20-inch forged alloy wheels, along with chopped carbon fiber detailing for a premium touch.
With unparalleled power, cutting-edge technology, and superior off-road capabilities, the Land Rover Defender Octa redefines what a luxury off-roader can be. Whether conquering rugged landscapes or cruising in style, it stands as the ultimate Defender yet.
