The unstoppable Defender 4×4 line-up is now more distinctive and ready for adventure than ever, thanks to upgraded finishes, design and technology enhancements across 90, 110 and 130 body designs – including Defender OCTA.
Upgrades across the Defender line-up include a crisp new headlight design with signature graphic when lit, fog lights as standard, and flush rear lights with smoked lenses. A refreshed palette of contemporary exterior colours and finishes, including Woolstone Green and Borasco Grey, is complemented by enhanced detailing and upgraded materials. Inside, a larger 13.1-inch touchscreen provides even more intuitive control for infotainment.
Technological upgrades see Adaptive Off-Road Cruise Control available as an option on Defender for the first time, making it even easier to negotiate rough terrain in comfort. And, Defender 130 is now available with an optional integrated air compressor for easily adjusting tyre pressures during multi-terrain adventures.
Defender OCTA, the extreme performance hero, benefits from an exclusive new Sargasso Blue exterior colour and tactile Textured Graphite accents in the latest programme of updates. A Patagonia White Matte Wrap exterior is also planned for Defender OCTA and 5.0-litre V8 models, available from late 2025.
Clean yet tough exterior
Defender’s tough exterior receives optimised surfaces for the new front and rear bumpers – whether finished in Silicon Silver or Carpathian Grey Satin on most models – and a new textured pattern for the bonnet inserts and side vents, creating a strong and adventurous look. All models get new Gloss Black Defender-branded wheel centre caps.
Redesigned headlights provide a distinctive new signature when lit, while the flush-fitting tail lights now have a dark tinted finish for a clean appearance and enhanced visibility, illuminating the path ahead on every adventure. And, a gloss black grille-bar is now standard, complemented by a dark oval badge.
New infotainment screen and driver assistance tech
Inside, a new 13.1-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system brings all of Defender’s technology highlights to the front-row occupants via a larger display, above the ergonomically repositioned dash-mounted gear shifter.
The latest centre console design allows clients to make the most of the space on offer. A sliding section hides small items out of sight in a closed cubby, while maintaining access to the deeper stowage area beneath. Available as part of the Signature Suite upgrade, removable side pockets further enhance convenience, with cable routing to keep items charged without wires trailing around the cabin. Alternatively, clients can opt for the centre ‘jump’ seatfor practical three-abreast seating across the front on most models.
For those venturing off-road, Defender is now available with optional Adaptive Off-Road Cruise Control for the first time. The technology is an evolution of All Terrain Progress Control and allows the driver to set a desired comfort level when negotiating rough terrain, so they can concentrate on steering the vehicle – improving composure off-road while reducing driver effort. The system automatically adjusts the speed to maintain the desired level of comfort over undulating surfaces, for unruffled off-road driving.
Defender OCTA
Defender OCTA is the extreme performance hero of the unstoppable Defender family, with 635PS 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 power, innovative 6D Dynamics suspension, Body and Soul Seats and a dedicated OCTA Mode for performance off-road use.
The fastest and most capable Defender has a revised colour palette for even greater choice. In addition to existing Charente Grey and Petra Copper colours, clients can now choose Borasco Grey and all-new Sargasso Blue. Sargasso Blue has a coarse sparkle reminiscent of the Sargasso Sea.
Defender OCTA’s purposeful exterior is accentuated by a new Textured Graphite finish, giving the most capable and durable Defender an even more rugged appearance. With a matte surface and high intensity metallic flake, it gives a true sense of tough luxury. Key touchpoints on the exterior include front and rear bumpers, bonnet vent inserts, side fender vent surrounds and two-piece bonnet script with a Phosphor Bronze outer finish.
