Canadian-Owned and Operated Since 1985August 11 2026,
There is no single way to do a Defender anymore. The current Land Rover Defender lineup stretches from the compact Defender 90 to the versatile Defender 110, the family-ready Defender 130, and the seriously powerful Defender OCTA. Each one shares the same adventure-first Defender DNA, but takes it somewhere different, with the 90 staying tight and agile, the 110 adding everyday flexibility, the 130 prioritizing passenger space, and the OCTA turning the formula into a 626-horsepower performance machine.

Defender 90 Keeps It Compact
The Land Rover Defender 90 is the shortest-bodied member of the family, and that smaller footprint is exactly what makes it interesting. It brings traditional Defender character into a package that is easier to place on tighter roads and trails. Land Rover Canada describes it simply as “compact in form,” and that sums up its place in the range nicely. It is the Defender for drivers who want genuine off-road attitude without automatically moving into a larger three-row SUV. The shorter body also gives the Defender 90 a distinctive stance that separates it immediately from its longer siblings.
Defender 110 Finds the Sweet Spot
Move up to the Land Rover Defender 110 and versatility becomes the headline. It offers space for up to seven occupants, giving it a broader family and road-trip role while retaining the capability expected from the Defender name. It is larger and more flexible than the 90 without going all the way to the extended proportions of the 130. That balance is what makes the Defender 110 such an important part of the Land Rover Defender model lineup. It can handle passengers, equipment and everyday driving while still being built around adventure.
Defender 130 Makes Space the Feature
The Land Rover Defender 130 is where the lineup gets properly roomy. Land Rover Canada lists seating for up to eight, and captain’s chairs are now available for buyers who prefer a more open second-row setup. That extra passenger capacity gives the Defender 130 a clear purpose within the family. Rather than simply being a stretched 110, it is aimed at adventures where more people and more gear are coming along. For larger families who still want serious Defender capability, the 130 brings something the shorter models simply cannot match.

Defender OCTA Unleashes 626 HP
Then there is the Land Rover Defender OCTA, and subtlety is not really part of the brief. Land Rover calls it the most powerful Defender ever made, with its 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 mild-hybrid powertrain producing 626 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. It can run from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds, remarkable pace for an SUV engineered to tackle demanding terrain. OCTA also receives 6D Dynamics air suspension with hydraulically interlinked dampers and height-adjustable air springs, plus a dedicated OCTA Mode for loose-surface driving.
One Metre Deep Is OCTA Territory
Performance has not pushed capability into the background. The Land Rover Defender OCTA can wade through water up to one metre deep, while specially developed 33-inch-diameter tires support its more extreme off-road mission. Greater ground clearance and wheel articulation further separate OCTA from a conventional high-performance luxury SUV. It is fast because Land Rover gave it huge power, but its more interesting trick is combining that speed with serious terrain capability.
