Defender OCTA

Every journey beyond the ordinary.

Defender OCTA

OCTA takes the Defender 110 and re-engineers it for speed across rough ground. A 4.4 litre twin-turbo V8 produces 467kW and 750Nm, enough for 0 to 100km/h in four seconds. It rides higher and stands wider than any other Defender, on the largest tyres ever fitted to one. The name comes from the octahedron, the shape of a cut diamond, and appears as a small badge on the bonnet and inside the cabin. Under the skin sits 6D Dynamics, an air suspension system with hydraulically interlinked dampers that controls pitch and roll without conventional anti-roll bars. It is the reason OCTA can stay level through a fast corner on gravel and then settle into a long motorway drive.

OCTA. The Defender at its most extreme.

The body is the first thing you notice. A raised ride height, a wider track and 838mm tyres, the largest ever fitted to a Defender, give OCTA a footprint the standard 110 does not have. Wading depth rises to a full metre. Two versions are offered in New Zealand: OCTA on 22-inch gloss black wheels, and OCTA Black with 20-inch wheels and Narvik Black paint set off by gloss black exterior details.

Inside, 14-way heated and cooled Performance Seats are standard, trimmed in semi-aniline leather, or semi-aniline leather with Kvadrat textile on OCTA Black. Body and Soul Seat technology turns the Meridian audio into something you feel through the seatback. A sliding panoramic roof, Matrix LED headlights and Pivi Pro are included, and a dedicated OCTA Mode switches the vehicle into its off-road performance setting, with an ABS calibration developed for loose gravel.

A cabin made for speed off road

The OCTA cabin keeps the standard Defender’s toughness and adds the seats, materials and controls that fast off-road driving demands.

  • 14-way electric Performance Seats with heating, cooling and memory come with bolsters and headrests, and matching seats in the second row.
  • Body and Soul Seat technology sends low frequency audio through the seatback.
  • Music becomes something you feel, not only hear.
  • Semi-aniline leather is standard. OCTA Black combines it with Kvadrat textile.
  • Meridian Surround Sound System and Pivi Pro, with navigation, media and vehicle settings a touch away.
  • A sliding panoramic roof brings light into the cabin.
  • Load space is up to 2,277 litres with the rear seats folded, so the everyday usefulness of the 110 stays intact.

The most capable Defender cabin ever built. Every part of it meant to be used.

FAQs

OCTA sits above the rest of the Defender range because it adds the V8 engine, 6D Dynamics suspension, Performance Seats and a long standard equipment list that includes a sliding panoramic roof and Meridian Surround Sound. The final figure depends on whether you choose OCTA or OCTA Black and on the options you add, so contact our team for a current price.
