Compare 2025 vs 2024 Defender

Performance

The standout change for 2025 is the debut of the Defender Octa, a new high-performance trim powered by a 626-horsepower twin-turbo mild-hybrid V8. This new trim also features:

• OCTA Mode for optimized gravel handling
• Dynamic Mode for sharper responsiveness
• 6D Dynamics air suspension with height-adjustable air springs
• Hydraulic interlinked dampers for better ride control

• A 296-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder
• A 395-horsepower turbocharged 6-cylinder
• A 493-horsepower V8
• A 518-horsepower supercharged V8

Both model years offer legendary off-road prowess with advanced drivetrain and terrain management systems.

Appearance

No major visual changes were made for 2025, meaning you'll find the same rugged, boxy design and aggressive stance in both models. Distinct design highlights include:

• U-shaped LED signature lighting in the rectangular headlights
• Available exterior upgrades like 22-inch wheels, all-terrain tires, roof rails, heated washer jets, a heated windshield, and tow hitch options
