The exterior design is robust, with a raised ride height, extended wheel arches, and redesigned bumpers for improved off-road performance.
It can wade through up to one metre of water.
The Octa's name is inspired by the diamond's Octahedral shape, symbolising durability and desirability.
Each Octa sports a new encircled diamond graphic, with a gloss black diamond set in a titanium disc on its Signature Graphic panel.

The Octa features a robust exterior with unique grille designs, and extensive underbody protection.
It features 33-inch diameter tyres, the largest ever fitted to a production Defender, including a Goodyear Advanced All-Terrain Tyre developed specifically for the Octa.
Defender Octa’s colour palette includes two new and exclusive metallic finishes: Petra Copper and Faroe Green, alongside Carpathian Grey and Charente Grey, while all Defender Octa models feature a contrast roof and tailgate in gloss Narvik Black.
