Land Rover has unleashed the Defender Octa Black, a striking, all-black special edition of its iconic SUV, emphasizing stealthy luxury and aggressive design.
Embracing the Dark Side: Exterior Details
This new Defender Octa Black stands out with over 30 elements finished in either gloss or satin black, giving it a truly stealthy presence. The entire exterior is coated in a deep Narvik Black paint, with an optional matte protective film available for an even more subdued look.
Attention to detail is evident in the Satin Black Powder Coat finish on both front and rear scuff plates, which cleverly expose the recovery eyes. Even the tow eye cover and quad exhaust tips receive a contrasting gloss black treatment, adding a touch of sleekness to the rugged design.
The vehicle rides on impressive 20-inch forged wheels or larger 22-inch gloss black wheels, all complemented by black center caps. Even the brake calipers, finished in gloss black, feature a contrasting script, showcasing the meticulous design choices throughout.

Luxurious Interior Appointments
Step inside the Octa Black, and you’re greeted by an equally sophisticated dark theme. The performance seats are upholstered in luxurious Ebony Semi-Aniline Leather combined with Kvadrat textile, featuring unique perforation patterns and intricate stitching details on the backrests for a premium feel.
The interior continues its black theme with the cross bar beam finished in satin black powder coat, matching the dark switchgear and steering wheel. For those seeking an extra touch of exclusivity, an optional Chopped Carbon Fibre finish is available to further customize the interior ambiance.
Power and Advanced Technology
Beyond its striking aesthetics, the Defender Octa Black is engineered for serious performance. It features Land Rover’s advanced 6D Dynamics suspension, which ensures exceptional stability and control on various terrains. A dedicated OCTA Mode further enhances its off-road capabilities, adapting the vehicle for optimal performance.
For an immersive driving experience, the SUV includes Body and Soul Seats (BASS), designed to provide enhanced comfort and feedback. Under the hood, the Octa Black is powered by a potent 4.4-litre, twin-turbo V8 engine, which includes mild-hybrid technology.
This formidable powerplant delivers an impressive 626bhp and 750Nm of torque. Such raw power allows the Octa Black to sprint from zero to 100kmph in a blistering 3.8 seconds, making it not just a looker but also a true performer. As expected, this exclusive edition will command a premium price over the standard Octa.
