[ĐÁNH GIÁ XE] Defender Octa: Land Rover’s new power statement

Originating from rudimentary but durable agricultural machines, Land Rover has written a proud new chapter in the history of the British car company with the appearance of Defender Octa.

More than just a luxury SUV, the Octa is considered a “super off-road vehicle” – the model most faithful to the ideal of conquering remote lands that adventure enthusiasts always desire.

Super SUV for extreme terrain

The formula for creating the Octa sounds familiar, placing a powerful engine on a solid foundation. However, Land Rover has done it in a standard way instead of just racing on parameters. The “heart” of the Octa is a 4.4L twin-turbocharged V8 engine tuned from BMW, producing 626 horsepower and 750 Nm of torque. Notably, maximum traction appears right from the low rpm range of 1,800 rpm and remains persistent until 5,800 rpm. This power allows an SUV weighing nearly 3 tons to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds – a number that is only reserved for pure sports cars.

6D Dynamic suspension: Technology makes the difference

To tame that terrible power without losing its off-road identity, Land Rover equips the vehicle with the unique 6D Dynamics suspension system. This is a technology commonly found on McLaren supercars, using hydraulic pipes to connect the shock absorbers and the air suspension system. Eliminating traditional anti-roll bars helps each wheel have greater independent up/down travel, optimizing traction when crossing difficult terrain. On asphalt, this system eliminates body lean when cornering and reduces nose pitch when braking, providing incredible stability.

Meticulousness in each technical upgrade

The brake system on the Octa has also been upgraded to match its power. Up front is a 6-piston Brembo brake caliper combined with a giant 15.7-inch brake disc hidden behind a set of multi-terrain tires.

Land Rover has fine-tuned the steering ratio to make it easier for the driver to control the vehicle when sliding slightly on gravel roads or when turning around in narrow urban spaces. Despite its heavy weight, Defender Octa still feels well-managed, creating confidence in many different conditions.

Classy SUV model priced at nearly 200,000 USD (5.25 billion VND)

Possessing theoretical performance capabilities, Defender Octa is not cheap. In the US market, the 2026 version has a starting price of about 160,000 USD (4.20 billion VND), especially the Faroe Green First Edition can exceed 170,000 USD (4.46 billion VND). Although it is a huge number, the Octa is really a bargain if placed next to the Mercedes-AMG G63. With a ground clearance of 322 mm, the ability to wade through water nearly 1 meter deep and approach/departure angles above 40 degrees, the Octa is not only valuable in its logo but also in its ability to go to places that few luxury SUVs dare to set foot on.

Modern symbol of the spirit of adventure

Defender Octa is considered the clearest embodiment of Land Rover’s core values. At the present time, Defender Octa is not simply the highest performance variant of the Defender line, but also serves as the clearest statement of Land Rover’s capabilities and identity.
