The vehicle’s enhanced drive modes, including the new Octa Mode, optimise performance for on-road and off-road driving.
Octa Mode is the first ever dedicated Defender off-road driving mode with a performance focus.
This has been specially developed to ensure ultimate control and driver confidence.
Octa Mode also enables an Off-Road Launch mode for optimum acceleration on loose surfaces. And, when combined with the lowest traction control settings (TracDSC or DSC off) it also engages a unique Off-Road ABS calibration for optimum braking performance on loose surfaces.
The Octa features a robust exterior with unique grille designs, and extensive underbody protection.
