2025 Land Rover Defender Review: Check out the 2025 Land Rover Destination Defender OCTA. It’s a true off-road vehicle that is also fun on the road.

We attend an epic celebration of the Defender lifestyle. Destination Defender brought owners and enthusiasts from across the U.S. for a momentous weekend of outdoor adventure and off-roading.

A new version of the Land Rover Defender called OCTA is joining the lineup for 2025. It has a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 with 626 horsepower and numerous other tweaks. A special OCTA drive mode is added, via a long press of a steering-wheel button, promising different tuning and an off-road-focused launch control.

The name OCTA is meant to refer to the octahedron shape of a diamond, and Land Rover is trying to drum up hype for this model by offering just 300 units.

The OCTA starts at $153,475, and the Edition One package is an additional $15,800. We take it for a ride.
