I have had the opportunity to drive several models from both Land Rover and Range Rover over the years. Most recently before this Defender OCTA it was the Range Rover Sport SV. It's hard not to enjoy getting behind the wheel of a Land Rover or Range Rover, as long as you don't have to think about the hole it makes in your wallet, and that's especially true of the Land Rover Defender OCTA. But let's put that aside for a moment and just enjoy the car for what it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A place that suits the Defender perfectly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I wrote, I have driven several models from Land Rover and Range Rover before. There is a place in Gothenburg that has proved to be perfect for photographing cars from these particular brands, and with Defender OCTA it is the third time I drive a Land Rover or Range Rover here to take pictures. The first time was with a Land Rover Discovery, the second time with a <a href=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/sv_se\/2011\/10\/24\/237622-2\/\">Range Rover Evoque<\/a>.

The biggest difference is under the bonnet, where the OCTA is powered by a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 with mild hybrid technology, developed in collaboration with BMW. Power output is around 635bhp, which is a big step up from both the P400 and previous V8 versions. Power is sent through an eight-speed automatic gearbox and a permanent four-wheel drive system recalibrated for both high speed and rough terrain. This is also one of the reasons why this car makes a bigger hole in your wallet than other car models. The Land Rover Defender OCTA with its 4.4-litre V8 is thirsty!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0289-1024x683.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"256378\" src=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0289-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-256378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0289-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0289-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0289-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0289-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0289-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0289-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0289-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0289.jpg 2033w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chassis, suspension and steering<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chassis is heavily redesigned and the Defender OCTA is the first production Defender to use the new 6D Dynamics suspension. It is a hydraulically linked system that completely replaces traditional anti-roll bars and allows the car to be stable and controlled on road, while maximising wheel movement off-road. The track is wider, ground clearance higher and the body reinforced to cope with the higher performance. The brakes are also larger and more powerful to match the weight and power of the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Design and details that set OCTA apart<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visually and functionally, the OCTA is also clearly different from a regular Defender. The body is wider with more muscular fenders, unique bumpers and increased cooling capacity. Underneath the car, there are stronger skid plates and the car rides on 20 or 22-inch wheels with specially developed tyres, depending on the application. Inside, the OCTA gets sportier seats, unique material choices and details that clearly mark this is a Defender built for extreme performance rather than just traditional work capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Behind the wheel on the way to Gothenburg<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On my journey down from Stockholm to Gothenburg, I enjoy every kilometre in this car. Until it's time to refuel... But the comfort in the Land Rover Defender OCTA is truly exceptional. In addition, there is a sound system from<a href=\"https:\/\/www.meridian-audio.com\">Meridian Audio<\/a>, so my latest <a href=\"http:\/\/soundcloud.com\/james\">DJ mix<\/a> is allowed to run at a very high volume during the journey south to my delight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0284-683x1024.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"256377\" src=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0284-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-256377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0284-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0284-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0284-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0284-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0284-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0284.jpg 1193w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0321-683x1024.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"256381\" src=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0321-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-256381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0321-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0321-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0321-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0321-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0321-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0321-1200x1800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0321.jpg 1311w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0319-683x1024.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"256380\" src=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0319-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-256380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0319-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0319-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0319-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0319-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0319-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0319-1200x1800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0319.jpg 1311w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0328-683x1024.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"256382\" src=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0328-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-256382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0328-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0328-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0328-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0328-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0328-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0328.jpg 1151w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Defender through history<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Land Rover Defender has its roots in the very first Land Rover models from the late 1940s, developed as rugged work vehicles for agriculture, military and expeditions. For decades, the Defender built its reputation on simple engineering, extreme durability and an ability to go where few other vehicles could. When the classic model was discontinued in 2016, it was the end of an era, but also the beginning of something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the new Defender was launched in 2019, it was a clear reboot. The old ladder frame construction was replaced by a self-supporting aluminium platform, and the Defender became significantly more advanced, comfortable and technically sophisticated. At the same time, the ambition was clear: the new model would still be a true Defender, with genuine off-road capability and a design language that clearly tied in with the original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Land Rover Defender OCTA as a concept and idea<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Defender OCTA represents the next step in this evolution and is effectively Land Rover's interpretation of a high-performance off-road icon. The name OCTA is inspired by the octahedron, one of the most stable geometric shapes, which should reflect the car's combination of strength, balance and control. With OCTA, Defender enters a segment where extreme performance, luxury and uncompromising off-road capability meet, without losing touch with the heritage that has made Defender one of the automotive world's most iconic models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0315-683x1024.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"256379\" src=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0315-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-256379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0315-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0315-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0315-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0315-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0315-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0315-1200x1800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0315.jpg 1311w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0340-683x1024.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"256383\" src=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0340-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-256383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0340-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0340-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0340-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0340-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0340-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0S4A0340.jpg 1201w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Technical specifications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Land Rover Defender OCTA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Price: from around 2 995 000 SEK<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Engine: 4.4 litre V8, twin turbo petrol<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Power: 635 hp, 800 Nm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transmission: 8-speed automatic, four-wheel drive<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acceleration: 0-100 km\/h in 4.0 seconds<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Top speed: 250 km\/h<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weight: approximately 2 585 kg<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dimensions (length\/width\/height): 5 018 \/ 2 008 \/ 1 967 mm<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Land Rover har alltid varit en offroad-bil f\u00f6r den mer v\u00e4lb\u00e4rgade publiken.
