First look: 2024 Land Rover Defender Octa

[@beaublue1625]

Had my Defender 90 now for 6 weeks & it definitely is the ‘Best 4x4xfar.’ It looks nothing compared to the Octa & I could never afford one but my 90 is a brilliant substitute. Thank you Tata for all you have done for the brand & the UK 🇬🇧..

[@carlhee3044]

here we go again negative reviews from people who will never own one cause they can’t afford one!!!! So they throw negative energy at RR…I have to say as a RR owner for 10 years I’ve had nothing but good experiences from RR….. The fit and finish is like no other……. bash them all you want…..there’s nothing like a RR!!!

[@markgamble568]

Same…. Had a RRS and 3 Jeep Wranglers. Never had an issue with any of them despite all the “warnings”. New Defender coming soon.

[@akk424]

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

[@beaublue1625]

Had my 90 D300 for 6 weeks now & without a doubt it definitely is the ‘Best 4x4xfar!’ JLR are just going from strength to strength & I can’t thank Tata enough… Fantastic & great for the UK

[@MarkGoslin-j1q]

I think you need to ask the new RR Sport SV owners who are giving them back with multiple transmission box issues

[@pauld4115]

I will happily sell you my Land Rover Discovery 5 with a 2.0 Ingenium engine…worth 40k I will let you have it for 35K. Fully dealer serviced….only had two engines, two windscreens, two transmissions, two inlet manifolds, two coolant systems…..absolute pile of scrap!

[@Targa4GTS]

Well this new Defender Octa based on a 110 chassis with a fantastic BMW 4.4l V8 engine which I enjoy it on my Alpina XB7 and therefore I can say Octa is the most powerful defender ever! 😎

[@raghavshankara5601]

😂😂😂 100% agreed.

[@swedesam]

You're making it sound like Land Rovers won't depreciate like a rock off a cliff after a few years for the used car market.

[@akk424]

@@swedesameven Porsche depreciates a lot

[@EastyUK]

Or owned one with a ford 4cyl engine. That was a complete POS.

[@victorschleicher]

So true 😄😄 i have the 110 v8 5.0 and its the best car ive ever owned!! Cant wait to make a test drive with the octa

[@itubiz1501]

No matter what people will say am still getting this one for myself. ❤🤩🔥

Good for you!

Beautiful vehicle. Unfortunately can't afford one, but one can always dream 😊

[@colinturner4158]

Brilliant motor

[@nigeldurant]

Refreshing to have the delivery and coverage that covers parts of the vehicle in more user appreciative realistic terms and brings a better viewpoint. Good presentation.

[@CompletecarIe]

Thank you very much, we're glad you enjoyed it.

[@sudindesai0928]

This is beast

[@sequoia689]

Seriously a beautiful car.

[@CompletecarIe]

: )

[@mikefly562]

Wow...very impressive. I'd rather buy an Octa then a G Wagon or even a Wrangler 392. That is such an impressive looking vehicle. In the meantime, I have my Defender 110 with the P400 engine to enjoy, which is still plenty of power for my needs.

[@CompletecarIe]

It is pretty cool alright!

[@abhisheksajwan8877]

Best SUV in world

[@CompletecarIe]

What's second best?

[@geological95]

😅Is the OCTA engine available in the Defender 90 2-Door?

[@abregoja]

whats the MSRP of the Octa ?

[@newdefendermods]

Great review!

[@CompletecarIe]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ToxxicMafia]

The Octa does also come in 90 format, you were just at a venue that did not have the 90 version. Also, the 90s were seen all over social media during testing phase.

[@newdefendermods]

Yes we saw during testing a high performance 90, but we have not seen any preproduction models, only 110, what are you basing your comment on?

[@ToxxicMafia]

@newdefendermods my bad, i thought i saw one, but i just double checked now and realised the presenter of the video was standing in front of the B pillar and blocking it.

[@SmartMoneyReviews]

Bought a new Defender x 110 in 2021, flawless so far. May replace it one day with another Defender.

[@jacksonian71]

I have the V8 Carpathian Edition, also flawless so far. The V8 adds a little emotion. That’s what I’d recommend.

[@sumohax0r]

Sold my 23 110 Carpathian to see what they had in store for 2025, I'm actually not a huge fan of the looks on the Edition One and prefer the standard Octa. But I don't love the rim options, the matte Grey 22" rims looked perfect IMO, I wish they would have color matched those to this new color. The new Octa rim choices look like something from Jeep or Chrysler.

[@CompletecarIe]

Maybe wait and see what aftermarket options for wheels come along?

[@willcorzo2696]

dealer markups expected?

[@CompletecarIe]

Time will tell

[@samcas707]

interesting the door handles and door apertures are gloss, is the matte finish a satin wrap/ppf?

[@jordanbridges8962]

Yes, it's a clear satin PPF over gloss paint.

[@Widewings748]

I love this car, was considering a purchase of the V8 and now I’m enthused by this one, but I still have this whisper behind my ear about its reliability with electronics. Would I take it on a real solo adventure in remote territory? Ummmm difficult, as I’ve heard it cannot easily be towed and only taken to Land Rover on a flat bed. 😬 Is this still the case or has LD fixed this?

[@allentyson5475]

What are you talking about? Just buy the damn car. Unless there is some other reason you are hesitating.

[@Widewings748]

@@allentyson5475 sorry bud, that didn’t answer my question

[@Biotuart]

In australia most 4x4 have snorkels, would that be possible to mod on, due to that big air intake at the front because i just imagine so much sand going in there. lol

[@tomcsy44weatherill29]

that air intake is a snorkel

[@jayb2617]

its even got a built in tray on the top of the engine to hold all the nuts and bolt while your repairing it!

[@amethysturanus6351]

Price and Mpg

[@auntbee1959]

How much?

[@Elliottcam]

Is that a bmw engine?

[@xtabi8888]

Yes it is. Most likely the S58.

[@josephtriana4979]

That is a square not an octagon. You think maybe octa which is 8 stands for a V8??

[@ladybee4564]

New defenders are showing to be more reliable than the ineos. Landrover always has had electric issues so nothing new.

[@allentyson5475]

All cars have electric issues.

What's sad is 60,000 of the cost of this defender is in the Bmw engine

[@jollyroger5999]

Nice, but give me the Toyota Land Cruiser any day for reliability and peace of mind. LR's look great but you need deep pockets to not only buy one but to maintain one also

[@shreeomkumar3414]

I know that currently you do have a penny to buy even a underwear and came here on KZbin to just do timepass and commented to be cool. But listen my dear useless friend no one is going to hear your useless advice

[@martinwilliam5536]

Maybe pple who have 100 grand plus don't mind that than u who has less

[@Dorko85]

Clearly haven’t owned a new 300 - they are worse to maintain and shocking reliability
