The Defender Octa arrives as a suitable flagship for this popular range of cars.The good news is that it has been masterfully executed, feeling far beyond simply a ‘car with a bigger engine’. Comprehensively re-engineered, the Defender Octa feels like a car at the very top of its game.
The running costs will be high and the price is significant, but if you’re after a car that’ll do it all – and do it convincingly, too – then the Defender Octa is the off-roader for you.
