At the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show Land Rover revealed the current generation Defender, the first all-new update since the early 1980s. Now, the arrival of the new generation is announced, which will hit the market in a few months.

The new generation Defender will bring a refreshing exterior with new headlights, fog lights and integrated taillights, bumpers, engine hood, side vents, and a front grille in gloss black. Customers will be able to choose from several new body colors such as Borasco Gray inspired by Californian mines, Woolstone dark green with warm details reminiscent of the British landscape, and Sargasso Blue and Patagonia White matte foil for the top-of-the-range Defender OCTA version.

The Defender‘s interior has also been refreshed with a new 13.2-inch central touchscreen, the gear lever is now slightly closer to the dashboard, a redesigned center console. A center front seat is available as an option, for a configuration with three rows of seats.

Speaking of technology, the future Defender will be equipped with Adaptive Off-Road Cruise Control, which allows the driver to maintain a preset level of comfort while driving on rough terrain, automatically adjusting speed even off-road. There is also a Driver Attention Monitor, a camera facing the driver that monitors attention while driving and sends visual and audible warnings in case of distraction.

When it comes to the powertrain, the top of the range will be the Defender OCTA powered by a 635 hp 4.4-L twin-turbo V8 engine. It is equipped with 6D Dynamics suspension, Body and Soul seats and OCTA off-road performance mode.

Land Rover will also offer several equipment packages (Explorer, Adventure and Urban) that include new black roof racks, dark underbody protection and fixed or retractable side steps.

British Land Rover has introduced a new version of its Defender SUV, the Land Rover Defender Octa. It is the most powerful version of this model that will be presented for the first time at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, which begins on July 11.

The car, which has been considered one of the best off-road vehicles for decades, received an improved chassis, steering system and adaptive suspension adapted to engine power, for minimal longitudinal and transverse tilting of the body, redesigned elements of the front and rear ends of the body, wider fenders, as well as 22- inch wheels and Brembo brakes. 20″ all-terrain tires (Goodyear Advance All-Terrain) are also available as an option, and it should be noted that thanks to the large clearance of the floor from the ground, the Defender can pass through water up to 100 centimeters deep.

The spacious interior, covered in leather, is equipped with contoured front seats with integrated headrests, and customers can choose from several different leather colors.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Defender Octa is powered by a 4.4-L V8 engine assisted by a mild hybrid system, with 635 hp (473 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission that sends power on both axles. This means that the previous 5.0-L V8 option with 525 hp (391 kW) is not offered.

Land Rover Defender Octa, which is considered Land Rover’s answer to the most powerful Mercedes G-Class, costs over 156,000 euros (Edition One).
