]]> DEFENDER OCTA BLACK: THE ROCK STAR OF LUXURY 4X4s MADE IN THE UK https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/defender-octa-black-the-rock-star-of-luxury-4x4s-made-in-the-uk/ Tue, 06 Jan 2026 18:37:45 +0000 https://mens.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=936621

Defender OCTA Black: Rugged luxury

A real rock star

The Defender OCTA, the master of extreme performance on and off-road, now has an even bolder counterpart : The Defender OCTA Black.

With an all-black aesthetic for high performance, the hero of the 4x4s gives the most powerful and luxurious model in the Defender family an even stronger presence and more assertive luxury.

A sign of this transformation: no fewer than 30 exterior elements feature black finishes. The colour of the Defender OCTA Black is Narvik Black, the most intense black in the Defender palette. It is a deep, dark black with a standard gloss finish, but customers can customise the exterior of their OCTA Black by choosing a matt black protective film.

The lower front shield and rear sill plates are finished in Satin Black, as are the rear towing rings, while the front towing eye cover and Gloss Black quad exhaust tips provide a contrasting finish.

The Land Rover oval on the grille is black with dark silver lettering. Even the underbody components feature a Gloss Black or Satin Black finish, including the exhaust silencer guard, centre differential and optional electric deployable tow bar.

There is a choice between 20-inch forged wheels or 22-inch Gloss Black wheels, with black wheel covers and Defender lettering in Shadow Atlas, while the Gloss Black brake calipers feature contrasting Sentient Silver lettering.

To match the dramatic black exterior, the interior of the Defender OCTA Black takes rugged luxury to a new level. Semi-Aniline ebony leather and KvadratTM are introduced to the Defender for the first time, giving the Performance seats a soft-touch finish. They feature unique perforation patterns with new stitching on the seatbacks, while the rear seats and armrest hinges are finished in Carpathian Grey, adding a bold touch to every element.

On the dashboard, the dashboard crossbar finish is finished with a coat of Satin Black powder, with an option of fragmented carbon fibre for certain interior details, adding the ultimate touch of rugged luxury.

“There is no denying the character and mission of the Defender OCTA: it is the tallest and widest of the Defenders, enabling it to tackle the most challenging terrain even more effectively. The introduction of the Defender OCTA Black takes things up a notch. We know our customers love to give their Defender an all-black finish, and our designers have applied this principle to every possible surface – inside and out – to create the ultimate luxury touch for the Defender OCTA.” MARK CAMERON, MANAGING DIRECTOR, DEFENDER.

The Defender OCTA is the extreme performance hero of the invincible Defender family, featuring a 635PS Bi-Turbo mild-hybrid V8 engine, 6D Dynamics suspension and an OCTA mode dedicated to off-road performance. It also features Body and Soul seats, which allow front Performance seat occupants to not only hear the music they love, but feel it too. Developed in partnership with specialist company SUBPACTM and using audio signals from the 15 speakers of the MeridianTM Surround Sound System, this immersive high-fidelity vibro-acoustic technology incorporates the same artificial intelligence software used by leading artists and composers.

The Defender OCTA Black benefits from the latest enhancements to the Defender line-up, including a new headlight design with a refreshed graphic signature and rear lights fitted with smoked lenses. Inside the cabin, a new touchscreen opens up an even more intuitive infotainment system.

Price From : 213 100 $

]]> DEFENDER OCTA – THE NEW MASTER OF EXTREME PERFORMANCE https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/defender-octa-le-nouveau-maitre-des-performances-extremes/ Sun, 11 May 2025 14:14:48 +0000 https://mens.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=933516 Like a diamond, the new Defender OCTA is a rare combination of extreme robustness and luxury, hence its name inspired by the hardest and most desirable mineral in the world.

The new Defender OCTA boasts a commanding stance and bold new design, while its signature new emblems pay tribute to its diamond-level capabilities.

Introducing a new hero for Defender, the British brand with the original spirit of adventure : the new Defender OCTA. The toughest, most capable and most luxurious member of the  unstoppable 4×4 family, taking the Defender 110’s capability to a whole new level.

Powered by a 4.4-litre Twin Turbo mild-hybrid V8 engine, the OCTA model is the most extreme and powerful Defender yet, delivering 467 kW/635 hp and up to 750 Nm1 of torque and accelerating from 62,14 mph in 4.0 seconds . Completely redesigned chassis components featuring innovative technologies, including 6D Dynamics suspension, ensure its dynamic capabilities are taken to new heights.

The exterior is bolder and more robust than ever, with a distinctive character. The ride height is raised, its stance wider, and the wheel arches are enlarged, for an incredible presence. Redesigned bumpers improve approach and departure angles, while robust underbody protection gives drivers the confidence to explore more rugged terrain. And it will be able to tread deeper ground than any production Defender before it, down to one meter of water.

Mark Cameron, Defender Managing Director, said: “With the new Defender OCTA, we’ve been able to unlock the Defender’s full potential. It embodies the very definition of breadth of capability, but also demonstrates what we can achieve by utilizing the very best technologies and talent within our engineering division. With its powerful V8 engine, groundbreaking 6D Dynamics suspension technology, luxury finishes, and unique details, it’s rare, incredibly robust, and inherently desirable.”

The name of the new Defender OCTA is taken from the world’s strongest and most attractive mineral – a diamond – and the octahedron shape that gives it its distinctive look and durability. This shape also inspired the distinctive new emblem, which marks it as the flagship Defender model, at once strong and durable, yet striking, rare and desirable.

Each Defender OCTA features a new diamond-in-circle motif, finished in Gloss Black stamped onto a machined and sandblasted titanium disc, affixed to each signature graphic panel.

The rugged luxury of the Defender OCTA is epitomised by the Defender OCTA Edition One, available from the first year of production. It features a carefully crafted specification, finished in a new exclusive Faroe Green shade, seamless knitted seat covers in PU UltrafabricsTM Khaki and Ebony, new Chopped Carbon Fibre details and 20-inch forged alloy wheels with a choice of optional specially designed All-Terrain or Advanced All-Terrain tyres.

UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE

The new OCTA model delivers unprecedented performance for the Defender. Powered by a 467 kW/635 hp 4.4-litre Twin Turbo mild-hybrid V8 engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with a dual-speed transfer case (high/low range), it is the most powerful and extreme Defender ever.

The new Defender OCTA will reach up to 155 MPH(limited) when fitted with 22-inch forged alloy wheels and all-season tyres.

With 750 Nm of torque 1 (up to 800 Nm by selecting Dynamic Launch mode) and tuned to match the vehicle’s exceptional off-road performance, the new Defender OCTA is capable of accelerating from 0 to 62,14 mph in 4.0 seconds, while maximum torque is available from 1,800 to almost 6,000 rpm, ensuring exceptional traction.

INCREDIBLE CAPABILITIES AND DURABILITY

The dynamic capabilities of the new Defender OCTA go far beyond what any Defender has achieved before, with the introduction of hydraulically interconnected 6D Dynamics suspension technology for the first time on a Defender, along with significant hardware and geometry changes. Unique in its kind, it is designed to be as enjoyable to drive on-road as it is off-road, without any compromise.

The Defender OCTA is raised 28mm and features a 68mm wider stance, for superior ground clearance and stability. To ensure unrivalled confidence and control on all terrains, with both maximum wheel articulation off-road and reduced body roll on-road, revised suspension components include longer, stronger wishbones and unique active dampers with separate accumulators. The model also features optimized 400mm front brake discs with Brembo calipers and features the quickest steering ratio of any Defender to date, for immediate and precise responses.

A bespoke testing and development programme comprising over 13,960 additional tests , including high-speed off-road reliability and endurance, as well as high-speed on-road performance, had to be created for the Defender OCTA, as the team entered areas of capability and robustness that had never been explored before.

Jamal Hameedi, Director of SVO, JLR, said: “Our high-performance experts have achieved the impossible with Defender OCTA, working tirelessly over the last three years to create the most capable Defender ever produced, regardless of the surface it is operated on. They have completely redesigned the vehicle’s components to ensure Defender OCTA is the perfect companion for epic adventures in every corner of the globe.”

An advanced combination of hydraulically interconnected, continuously variable semi-active dampers virtually eliminates body pitch and roll on the road, while the 6D Dynamics system also contributes to the Defender’s unprecedented comfort and refinement. On challenging terrain, the 6D Dynamics system allows for greater wheel articulation and tackles even more extreme obstacles, meaning customers can go even further and in greater comfort.

The full capabilities of the new Defender OCTA, which can automatically detect the surface it is driving on and optimize its dynamic settings accordingly, are unleashed through its enhanced driving modes. In addition to the default Comfort mode, Dynamic mode offers the ultimate performance-focused on-road experience, adjusting the vehicle’s steering, throttle and suspension settings with a simple touch of the signature logo button on the steering wheel.

A long press of the same button accesses OCTA mode, Defender’s first-ever performance-focused off-road driving mode. This has been specifically created to ensure ultimate control and driver confidence. OCTA mode also enables an Offroad Launch mode for optimal acceleration on loose surfaces. Combined with the lowest settings of the traction management systems (TracDSC or DSC off), it also applies a unique off-road ABS calibration for optimal braking performance on loose surfaces.

For more technical off-road maneuvers, the Defender’s suite of familiar Terrain Response modes remains at the driver’s fingertips, with specific Sand, Mud/Ruts, Grass/Gravel/Snow and Rock calibrations, supported by off-road driving aids such as ClearSight Ground View2, which provides a virtual view of the front wheels and surface with a display on the touchscreen.

AN EXTERIOR PLACED UNDER THE SIGN OF CONFIDENCE

Defender’s commanding presence and off-road focus give Defender OCTA a bold new attitude. It is available with 22-inch diameter wheels, the largest ever fitted to a production Defender, and Goodyear Advanced All-Terrain tires1 specifically designed for the OCTA model. This required flared wheel arches, which complement the off-road-optimized front bodywork with unique grille designs allowing for improved underhood airflow, a new rear bumper incorporating a quad-exit active exhaust system, robust underbody protection including an aluminum alloy front bumper in Graphite, and exposed front and rear tow points finished in Phosphor Bronze.

The Defender OCTA color palette includes two new exclusive premium metallic finishes: Petra Copper and Faroe Green, as well as Carpathian Grey and Charente Grey, while all Defender OCTA models feature a contrasting roof and tailgate in gloss Narvik Black. Customers can personalize their vehicle with the optional matte protection film for additional body protection in challenging environments, also adding an elegant look that highlights its distinctive silhouette and sophisticated surfaces.

The Faroe Green color is available exclusively on the Defender OCTA Edition One, as are the Chopped Carbon Fiber details. This highly distinctive finish, which includes recycled raw materials, features on the Defender bonnet lettering, side vents and bonnet vents, as well as on the front seat backs and center console trim inside.

AN ENGAGING AND IMMERSIVE INTERIOR

Inside, carefully selected details set the new Defender OCTA apart. Two ultra-durable UltrafabricsTM PU options – 30% lighter than traditional leather – are available. This knitted seat finish is standard on the Defender OCTA Edition One, in two-tone Khaki and Ebony, and has a minimalist, seamless finish.

For the Defender OCTA, the standard interior is offered in a new Semi-Aniline Burnt Sienna leather, with Kvadrat™ textile trim in Ebony. Any Defender OCTA model can also be equipped with Ultrafabrics™ PU in Light Cloud and Lunar, or Semi-Aniline leather in Ebony.

The front row of the Defender OCTA features all-new Performance seats with supportive bolsters and integrated headrests. Another new feature of the Defender is the Body and Soul Seat audio technology .

The Body and Soul Seat feature was created in collaboration with music industry experts SUBPAC and Coventry University, allowing both the driver and front passenger to feel and hear the music . Six wellness programs are also available to help passengers relax or boost their cognitive responses while traveling, depending on their preferences.

The Defender OCTA PRICE starts at 195 940 $
