Gearbox: 8-Speed ZF Automatic with Twin-Speed Transfer Box
Every 2026 Defender uses the ultra-reliable ZF 8-speed automatic transmission. Crucially, it retains a twin-speed transfer box as standard across the range, providing a dedicated low-range gear set for serious off-roading. The OCTA further introduces "6D Dynamics" interlinked air suspension to eliminate pitch and roll.
