And with that ethos in mind — as we discovered that even the super-boxy Mercedes-Benz G-wagen now starts at $154,000 — the moderately outrageous, all-new 2026 Land Rover Defender 110 Octa trim almost makes sense. For a base price of $158,300, this heavily upgraded and do-anything edition of the mid-sized, current-model Defender is a testament to testosterone. Consider that you can still get a much more basic, two-door Defender 90 for about $61,000, or the nearly identical standard-issue 110 for $65,000. A darkened grille, black body and mirror trim (plus a full mirror-black trim on the rear gate) and those giant, beautiful, maybe Spider-Man-inspired 20-inch wheels all give it a lot of presence. In Octa’s rendering, there’s lots of that new-fangled chopped carbon fiber trim (it looks like patches), especially all over the backs of the front seats, plus leather highlights everywhere.
