The Defender 110 OCTA sits at the top of the Defender 110 range. Where the Defender S, X-Dynamic SE, Trophy Edition, X, and Vertex each offer a distinct combination of capability and refinement, the OCTA introduces a 626-hp V8 powertrain to the lineup. The twin-turbo V8 mild hybrid powertrain is the defining feature. At 626 hp, it produces more than double the output of the Defender S’s 296 hp inline-6.
Two OCTA models are offered for the 2027 model year: the Defender 110 OCTA and the Defender 110 OCTA Black. Both sit above the Vertex in the lineup. The OCTA Black adds a higher level of standard specs. The OCTA combines high-output performance with the Defender’s off-road architecture. The 8,200-lb tow rating, 11.5 inches of off-road ground clearance with the air suspension raised, and 35.4-inch maximum wading depth support its capability-focused design.
The OCTA’s engine is a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 paired with a mild hybrid system. The mild hybrid assist helps support torque delivery and engine efficiency across the powertrain’s operating range. The result is a 0-60 mph time of 5.8 seconds.
The OCTA’s 626-hp V8 gives it a different powertrain configuration from the inline-6 models in the Defender 110 range. The 8-speed automatic transmission manages the output, while full-time AWD and a twin-speed transfer box provide both high and low range.
Terrain Response adjusts vehicle settings for different surface conditions. Hill Descent Control, Hill Launch Assist, Dynamic Stability Control, Electronic Traction Control, and Roll Stability Control are also included.
The Defender 110 OCTA and Defender 110 OCTA Black are both built around the same 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 mild hybrid powertrain. Their primary differences are specification and appearance rather than core mechanical capability. The OCTA Black carries a higher level of standard specification than the standard OCTA. Both share the same core powertrain, off-road capability figures, and driver-assistance technology.

2027 Defender 110 safety features
Compared with the Defender 110 Vertex, which uses the same 395-hp inline-6 found in the X-Dynamic SE, Trophy Edition, and Defender X, the OCTA moves to the 626-hp V8. The Vertex offers Three-zone Climate Control with Cabin Air Purification Plus, Adaptive Dynamics, and additional interior appointments, while the OCTA emphasizes higher output alongside its capability equipment.
The five non-OCTA models in the Defender 110 lineup—S, X-Dynamic SE, Trophy Edition, X, and Vertex—use inline-6 powertrains. The OCTA and OCTA Black use the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8.
For clients in Grand Rapids and across Michigan who regularly tow, the OCTA combines an 8,200-lb tow rating with 626 hp. On unpaved roads north of Grand Rapids or during seasonal conditions where traction varies, the OCTA combines full-time AWD, a twin-speed transfer box, Terrain Response, and substantial available power.
Inside, the OCTA retains the 13.1-inch touchscreen, Pivi Pro navigation, and Meridian audio. Wade Sensing monitors water depth when conditions require it, helping the driver keep track of the vehicle’s 35.4-inch maximum wading depth.
The OCTA retains the everyday utility and controls of the Defender 110 while adding the 626-hp V8 powertrain.
The OCTA carries the highest listed output in the 2027 Defender 110 lineup. The Defender X, Vertex, Trophy Edition, and X-Dynamic SE produce 395 hp from the 3.0-liter inline-6. The Defender S produces 296 hp. The OCTA and OCTA Black produce 626 hp from the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8.
