But that’s before options are factored in, which can add up to the price of a luxury round-the-world cruise for all the family.\n\n\n\n    Create your Regit account\n  \n\n\nWhat makes this Land Rover Defender so expensive?Put simply, power. This 4.4-litre model with a V8 engine boasts 635PS of oomph along with 730Nm of torque. That means it can hit 62mph from a standing start in a ridiculously quick 4.0 seconds and onto a top speed of 155mph. That’s not too shabby for a vehicle that can tow a house, climb a mountain and wade through flowing streams … for fun.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNews Updates\nStay ahead with our three daily briefings delivering all the key market moves, top business and political stories, and incisive analysis straight to your inbox.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe engine is BMW-sourced and there is rally-raid suspension. In fact, this ‘city car’ has the same body shell and powertrain as the Dakar D7X-R, so Land Rover engineers have thrown all their engineering know-how at this Land Rover Defender.It has a sense of invincibility about it thanks to its muscular, rugged styling (if it was a human, it would be a sharp-dressed Royal Marine) and the off-roading facts and figures speak for themselves meaning pootling around town in stop, start city traffic feels like a waste of its talent. It should be living its best life tackling mountain climbs not staring at Tower Hill or clambering over deep, boggy fens not sat at lights in Fenchurch Street. It just needs to show off its full potential and that won’t happen in a city.Credit: Maxine AshfordSurely there must be some positivesHow about the running costs? Sadly, no they are a combined 21.4mpg. The Land Rover Defender is very large too, so parking will also be a chore. Plus, the side-hinged rear door may look great but it needs plenty of space behind in order to safely open.\n\nThere are some snippets of hope though. It can tow a horsebox, which is handy for the tally-ho brigade. The brilliant air suspension will make mincemeat of potholes and speed bumps, plus imagine the street cred on the school run when you rock up at the gates in the Defender OCTA.What will the neighbours think if I introduce the new Land Rover Defender OCTA to their leafy neighbourhood?If you visit the more upmarket areas of London such as Knightsbridge, Canary Wharf and Chelsea, the Defender OCTA will fit in perfectly alongside all the other ‘statement’ cars on show. After all, the Range Rover, along with other luxurious 4×4 have the ‘Chelsea Tractor’ nickname, so its menacing sibling will have strong bragging rights too.Sadly, owners won’t get much chance to show off the unique OCTA drive setting though as this comes into force away from the Tarmac with performance-related driving on rougher terrain, plus a louder exhaust soundtrack as an accompaniment too.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
