Land Rover Defender Octa vs. Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 | V8 Off-Roaders Comparison Test

If you’re looking to hit the dirt with style and speed, the Land Rover Defender Octa and Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 are two of your best options. But which one is the king when it comes to off-road capability? Edmunds’ Emme Hall puts the two head-to-head to find out in this off-road comparison test video. The Defender OCTA is the high-tech choice; it features a 626-horsepower, 4.4L twin-turbo V8, which is honestly a bit of a monster. It feels refined and effortless, especially when you're flying across open desert or cruising on the highway. On the flip side, the Wrangler Rubicon 392 is all about that raw, old-school displacement. It packs a massive 6.4L HEMI V8—naturally aspirated, no turbos—delivering 470 horsepower. While it’s technically "down" on power compared to the Land Rover, the 392 makes up for it with a deep, intoxicating exhaust note. But once you leave the spec sheet behind and hit the dirt, which of these SUVs should you be bringing along?
