    The iconic Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen finally has a genuine competitor in the form of the BMW twin-turbo V8-powered Defender OCTA.
    This rating has been converted from our previous rating system. Read about our new review ratings.

    Pros

    • Menacing looks that are hard to miss
    • Excellent on-road and off-road performance
    • A true G-Wagen competitor without the social connotations

    Cons

    • Doesn't look as expensive as its Mercedes-Benz rival
    • Interior not differentiated enough from standard Defenders
    • Barely any exhaust note from the BMW engine
