Jaguar Land Rover’s Defender has faced criticism for its unibody construction and upscale direction. However, strong sales indicate a demand for such a vehicle in the market. To keep the Defender fresh, JLR is planning extensive updates, including a flagship trim level named OCTA for the 2025 model year.
The Defender OCTA will feature a twin-turbo V8 engine from BMW, providing impressive performance and refinement. Designed for both on-road and off-road driving, the OCTA promises advanced suspension technology and enhanced dynamics.
Teased with camouflaged prototypes undergoing rigorous testing, the Defender OCTA is set to debut soon, offering enthusiasts a blend of luxury and capability. While details about the Elements series remain unclear, it’s evident that JLR is committed to evolving the Defender lineup to meet evolving customer demands.
