- The Goodyear "advanced" all-terrain tire option is limited to 112mph. But yes, the tires on this spec are limited to 129 mph. I should've clarified which tire was optioned here!
For those who will say that JLR is now Indian
Yes, Jaguar and Land Rover is Indian owned, by the Tata Group
But still, most R&D, engineering, occur in UK centers. Therefore, Land Rover is a Indian Owned British Company. Modern Land Rovers are still British, and iconically so
But Royal Enfield, a erstwhile British classic, is now definitely a Indian icon, because modern Enfields have their entire design, engineering, done in India

- The new Defender's 3-liter diesel engine is more than enough. It's a great car. It's tireless on the highway and easy to drive off-road. I've been using it for five years now and am very happy. I've only had one problem in all that time: the EGR valve broke at 40,000 kilometers (the valve flap jammed)—unfortunately, it's a problem with this engine. But I replaced it and drove on. My wife's Mercedes GLE has had far more problems with both the engine and the chassis during that same time.
- I've been looking for a vehicle (SUV primarily) and wanted something where it can basically do anything and go anywhere I wanted. I keep coming back to the Landrover Defender. And it's DEPENDABLE which has always been a concern. The Octa, even if it were cheaper, it completely unnecessary for my needs. But for those few..... 🙌
- It is a dealer accessory sold separately. "Prices exclude installation charges. Please contact your local Land Rover Authorized Retailer for final price. May not fit all derivatives. Additional parts may be needed for installation."
- How does BMW manage to make a V8 sound so bad in these cars? I drove one and it just made me want an EV SUV no joke. Also pretty sure the on board compressor is an optional accessory.
- Too bad Grand Cherokee left the V8 market for that miserable four banger turbo. If Grand Cherokee did offer the V8s again, Jeep could compete with this. For now America makes nothing that compares to this. Only BMw x5 is close but I take the Landr Rover.
- Ford Bronco Raptor all day, everyday. I'm surprised they didn't make a D90 Octa to better compete with Domestic off-road vehicles. 158K for an off-road Market is crazy considering Land Rover doesn't hold value very well at all. Although from what I've red, the Recent years of Defender are quite reliable.
- Actually, they don’t make a tire cover for a 33” tire that would fit it probably. I’m switching over to 22” urban satin bronze and I’m getting 5 wheels. I will NOT want to cover that beautiful wheel. Hovever, I will condition it and properly rotate them.
