Used Land Rover Defender Octa
Land Rover has a history of performance SUVs, but the Defender Octa is different in how it approaches speed. It is arguably one of the best sports SUVs out there. Apart from the headline figures, what makes the Octa special is its on and off-road characteristics, thanks to Land Rover’s 6D air suspension system.
What it all means is that the Octa can accelerate and corner like a small car while also proving capable when the going gets tricky. Towering sand dunes or cross-country cruising at astonishing speeds, the Defender Octa might be the only SUV you’ll ever need. Of course, you get all the good traits from the standard Defender, but with top-shelf parts and the BMW 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 developing 635hp and 750Nm of torque. The high price aside, there is not much out there that can do what the Defender Octa does.
