Get ready for an epic adventure as Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) gears up to unveil its newest beast on July 3 – the 2025 Defender Octa! This hardcore off-roader promises to be a game-changer with its tough-as-nails design and cutting-edge features.
If you’ve been itching to get your hands on one, brace yourself – it won’t be a walk in the park, especially in the first year. Just like last year’s Range Rover Sport SV launch, production will be limited, and lucky buyers will be handpicked.
Interested? You’ll need to sign up for a special sneak peek event. JLR is hosting seven of them worldwide, including one right here in the U.S.
Now, let’s talk specs. While JLR is keeping some details under wraps, we do know that the Defender Octa will pack a punch with a twin-turbocharged V-8 engine featuring a mild-hybrid system.
Plus, it’ll sport JLR’s new 6D Dynamics suspension, which promises a smooth ride whether you’re tearing up the track or tackling rough terrain.
But that’s not all – prototypes have been spotted sporting Brembo brakes, a titanium exhaust system, and 20-inch wheels with BFGoodrich all-terrain tires.
And don’t worry, they’ve been putting these bad boys through their paces with testing in all sorts of conditions, from racetracks to rocky trails.
Now, you might be wondering about the name “Octa.” Well, it’s all about strength. Think diamond-strong. JLR wants you to know that the Defender Octa is as tough as they come, just like a diamond – the hardest substance on Earth. That’s why you’ll spot a diamond-shaped logo on this beast.
