A NEW HIGH-PERFORMANCE HERO

Original British adventure brand Defender will introduce a new high-performance, all-terrain hero in 2024: the Defender OCTA.

The new flagship Defender will be the toughest, most capable, and most luxurious model in the lineup, charting new territory for the brand. It will feature V8 Twin Turbo mild-hybrid petrol power and classleading 6D Dynamics air suspension, enabling extreme performance across all terrains.

Available for the first time on Defender, 6D Dynamics will give it an unparalleled breadth of capability, comfort and composure, whether on-road or off-road. This technology features an innovative pitch and roll control system that will enable the car to maintain a near-level stance during acceleration, braking and cornering on-road while also maximising independent wheel travel and articulation across the most demanding off-road terrain.

The octahedron shape of a diamond is the inspiration behind the new model’s OCTA name, and a diamond graphic features on several interior and exterior components, including within a machined and sandblasted titanium disc on each Signature Graphic panel.

The Defender OCTA is undergoing the most exhaustive development regime in Defender history, from the snow and ice of Sweden to the Dubai desert, Nürburgring tarmac and Moab rock crawls.

Prospective clients will be invited to attend exclusive previews ahead of its full reveal later this year. Clients interested in registering for the first release of Defender OCTA should contact their Defender retailer now.
