620HP V8 Defender OCTA is HERE! First Look Review /// Allcarnews

This past spring, Land Rover invited me out to Brooklyn, NY to be one of the first to experience the incredible new Defender OCTA! And while I wasn’t allowed to capture images myself, their wonderful team was on site to film for us! (Our is KZbin Video LIVE now)! What is the OCTA? Simply, it’s the most extreme Defender ever and it comes in 2 flavors along with its Diamond inspired toughness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🏁 @Alllcarnews Spec sheet: Under the hood is a welcome surprise: A Twin Turbocharged 4.4L V8 with 48v producing 626HP and 553 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels through an 8-Speed Gearbox with a 2 speed transferase. It can hit 60MPH in just 3.8 seconds with a 155MPH TopSpeed. 🏁
The OCTA is way more than just wild looks, enhanced interior, luxury, and a potent (German) V8. Under the skin is JLR’s Hydraulically interlinked 6D Suspension with pitch and roll control along with a 1.1inch lift and 2.7inch wider track with optional 33 inch rubber. A new OCTA mode comes with an Off Road Performance focus enabling off road launch control, off road ABS, TracDSC.DSC Off and more.
Visually, the First edition comes clad with all the accessories, new forged carbon trim, the titanium OCTA logo, 20 inch forged wheels, an exclusive new Faroe Green Paint and a Khaki/Ebony Ultrafabric interior with seamless 3D knitting. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After over 13,960 durability tests, the Defender OCTA is ready to storm al terrains. Orders are now open with a $152k starting price.

[@SAKSHIMISHRA-s6i]

This defender is the best off-road vehicle of all time.

[@PANKAJKAINTH-ve6sj]

this octa looks amazing man.

[@Allcarnews]

Truly special

[@akk424]

ITS ALWAYS THE PEOPLE WHO COULDNT AFFORD A LAND ROVER IN THEIR WHOLE LIFE COMPLAINING ABOUT RELIABILITY

[@koaykengfai5048]

Ikr like they acting know about everything

[@DiaperSNiFFER]

I’ve never seen a rich 👩 mother complaining about her Land Rover . It’s always the ones driving a cheaper car

[@husshardan3511]

I think the caps lock button is broken on your keyboard. You using a Land Rover keyboard per chance?

[@thibaggar7173]

alot of people dont take care of their car

[@mayormsuthu1465]

How many did you own so far?

[@tshepangramasankate346]

G63 is in trouble

[@husshardan3511]

Why, what did you hear?

[@S9.S4]

Never Lol, This Defender Is Nothing But A Shame To How The Defender Used To Be. This Gen Is Just A Rebadged Discovery

[@livinagoodlife]

@@S9.S4lmao. It’s way more capable that previous gen. Also buyers of a defender wouldn’t gaf abt a disco. massive sales prove it. cry harder abt something you’ll never have.

[@Raptor.R.26]

Of course 💪

[@moisenkusu5894]

The G-class killer 😂😂😂

[@Reko_89]

I’ve been waiting for this video! The OCTA is STUNNING 🤩🤩

[@stevielowe2853]

Absolutely stunning ❤

[@joelbolton7252]

More vids like this - you are escalating!

[@andrewmacdonald4510]

Octa 'standard' looks fabulous in new copper colour. Meanwhile delighted with my 90 D300 X-Dynamic HSE!

[@NguyenNhanQKhanh]

The Defender Octa gets 4.4l V8 engine (from BMW)🔥🔥🔥

[@Allcarnews]

Yes indeed!

[@Stormnorm123]

Yes and that’s a good thing 👍

[@daner650]

The old v8 character is nicer, more muscular

[@ashishkumar3169]

Our team worked on its SW for 4 years ❤ So proud of the end product

[@Allcarnews]

Amazing work!

[@otisash]

Lovely with new seats

[@atiquzzaman3414]

Excellent job ❤

[@Allcarnews]

Thank you! 😊

[@glenwerline3876]

Starting in the mid 150k range, and with the anticipated ADM bringing it to around 210K here in the US.

[@holsteincowboy]

I was told prices in the UK will be around 200K so interesting that a octa will be 40-50 K cheaper in the US

[@praneethjayasimha5943]

top variant is well over 200k anywhere.

[@vxplore]

Octa looks fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥 bro 👍🏻

[@kevinbarrett1362]

OMG it has 5 wheels wow that's so amazing...

[@is305fl]

Awesome video 😊

[@Allcarnews]

Thank you 😁

[@JosephKwawMensahJunior]

That's great

[@cincyrovers]

Great video, pal! Kinda regret not going to the Defender Elements event. Looks like you had a great time and looking forward to getting behind the wheel of one soon!

[@Allcarnews]

Thank you!! Was an amazing event by JLR

[@mohammedmudassir4719]

How about Jetour T2 comparison..looks same though

[@KotaManifest]

Nice a 90 octa

[@AGC828]

If only Jane Tovrt can shake their spotty reliability reputation

[@IASMARG]

Do u own one?

[@kingcraftgames.985]

They should've named this the defender "orca" lol

[@praneethjayasimha5943]

its a land rover not a ocean rover. ocra is great but branding issue

[@carlhee3044]

Hopefully they gave it an exhaust!!!!

[@reitsmaassociates]

Would be great if they did the 90 in this amazing spec!

[@Allcarnews]

Would be epic but for engineering purposes it wouldn’t make sense

[@DiaperSNiFFER]

@@AllcarnewsI saw the 90 SVX-octa testing thou

[@jpadarath27]

Noice...

[@Mazeboxx]

Slow down!! I feel like I'm being chased.

[@hgyala]

Hello @Allcarnews.. what is the length of this SUV?

[@Allcarnews]

This is the defender 110, not much has changed in length vs a normal 110 (around 197 inches) The width is increased though due to the widebody and larger tires.

[@ResidentAlien_]

An all new Defender?

[@Allcarnews]

New version of the defender

[@BolitaDeKetica]

$160K?! Canadian, right?

[@nonexistence7986]

Isn't JLR going fully electric this coming year?

[@praneethjayasimha5943]

only jaguar. Land rover is going all out with their V8's

[@Rohan-px5dg]

RIP G wagon

[@Rohan-px5dg]

Defender >>>>>>>>>> G wagon

[@maureencora1]

My 2024 Lottery Win Buy SUV, I Can Dream, Can't I? (smile)

[@jamesmichael5475]

Gold plated recovery hooks, 22 inch wheels, ideal for off-roading??. With such a high center of gravity, drag racing your Defender might not be the best idea. People spending 160K on this vehicle are not going to take this near anything approaching a rugged off-road trail. A level dirt-road might be the closest it comes to off-roading,

[@Allcarnews]

Have you seen the video of this on the Nurburgring…. It can HANDLE

[@ArkVogel]

This has Mall Princess written all over it, just like the G63; powerful engine but too precious to touch dirt.

[@erenyeager05]

mic rip

[@reyjazz-u8p]

Defender Hawk Thua?

[@husshardan3511]

It’s a problem when your $170K Defender looks like an $80K Defender to people who aren’t Defender geeks.

[@MD-xb1qw]

Most folks don’t know the difference between a 911s and a GT3RS. Who cares.

[@husshardan3511]

@@MD-xb1qw GT3RS looks like a race car compared to the base 911. Massive wings etc. This $170k Defender looks like any old Defender. A Benz GWagon has more curb appeal and looks more expensive. Especially the interior. And it is the same money. And there isn’t a $80k version of it. No-one needs a $170k vehicle. So if you spring for that it needs to look like one.

[@MD-xb1qw]

@@husshardan3511 a 911S with a sport package looks similar to the GT3RS to common folk.

[@husshardan3511]

@@MD-xb1qw but that’s the thing. That acknowledges that common folk see the RS as a race car, but a sport package can make a base 911 look like a race car. The $80k Defender already looks like a $180k Defender to common folk.

[@MD-xb1qw]

@@husshardan3511 most people don’t know or care why an RS is and RS. To them, all Porsches are the same. I know because I’ve one three. 991 C2 and two 991 GTSs

[@apreddyignite5811]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😇😎😎

[@Colin-b7h]

Pity about the rattles and mechanical problems….. been there got the T-shirt lost lots of money absolute crap

[@freecitizen7372]

Vinyl seat covers, plastic wood and poor reliability. And yet they have the gall to charge $147,000.

[@Allcarnews]

No fake wood here. Build quality pretty solid as well. No vinyl either. You have the option of full leather or this new woven/waterproof vegan materials.
