The Spec'd take

Why it stands out

  • 635 PS twin-turbo V8 makes it one of the most powerful SUVs sold in India, with genuine off-road hardware retained
  • Real Defender off-road credentials paired with supercar-rivaling on-road performance

Worth knowing

  • Starting near Rs 2.59 crore (Rs 2.79 crore for the fully-loaded Edition One), it is a genuinely low-volume halo model, not a mainstream Defender
  • Real fuel economy suffers meaningfully versus the standard Defender range

Source Notes / Discrepancies

Notes Power is quoted as 635 PS in Land Rover's own India-launch communications and as 626 bhp in some CarDekho coverage, these are consistent once converted (626 bhp is approximately 635 PS), not a real disagreement. One source states that certain ADAS features present on international-market Octa units, including Traffic Sign Recognition, Adaptive Speed Limiter, Lane Keep Assist and Wade Sensing, are not enabled on India-spec cars; this could not be independently cross-confirmed against Land Rover India's own site and is flagged here rather than asserted as fact. Length, width, height, wheelbase, kerb weight and India-specific warranty terms could not be confirmed from a reliable source and are left out rather than guessed. Photo check 30 Sep 2026: landrover.in's Defender Octa page was reachable and yielded a genuine studio hero shot (plain white background, front three-quarter), a wheel-arch/headlight detail, and an Octa-specific front-seat interior shot; added to the gallery, with the hero also set as featured image. Also added the 275/65 R20 tyre size (Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure), readable directly off the tyre sidewall in one of the same press photos, to the Brakes Wheels & Suspension row.
