Cutting-Edge Chassis and Technology

The Defender Octa is not just about raw power. It features a heavily revised chassis and a host of innovative technologies, including the advanced 6D Dynamics suspension system, which enhances its on-road and off-road capabilities. Hydraulically-interlinked continuously variable semi-active dampers further refine the ride quality.

The vehicle’s design has been meticulously optimized for maximum ground clearance and stability. It sits 28 mm higher and has a 68 mm wider stance than the standard Defender, allowing for greater wheel articulation off-road and reduced body roll on-road.
