Land Rover has recently expanded its impressive lineup with a striking addition—the new Defender Octa Black specification, which elevates the already capable Defender Octa to new heights of style and performance. This latest version of the range-topping Defender Octa features a series of design enhancements that embrace a sleek, stealthy aesthetic, appealing to both off-road enthusiasts and urban drivers alike.

The Black specification is specifically tailored for the V8-powered four-wheel-drive model, emphasizing a darker theme that underscores its rugged capabilities. Finished in a striking Narvik Black as standard, the vehicle boasts numerous black-finished components that contribute to its undercover appearance. For those looking for an added layer of protection while maintaining that sleek look, an optional matte protective film can seamlessly be applied.

Among the eye-catching features are the satin black paint accents on the front undershield and rear scuff plates, which not only enhance the vehicle's robust look but also serve practical purposes. The iconic Land Rover badge on the grille has been transformed to a black finish, complemented by a darkened silver script, adding to the vehicle's sophisticated yet tough character. Customers can also opt for either 20-inch forged or 22-inch gloss black wheels topped with black center caps, giving them the ability to customize their Defender Octa to their liking.

Stepping inside the Defender Octa Black, drivers and passengers are greeted by a luxurious yet functional interior adorned with ebony leather, which is elegantly perforated to provide both style and comfort. The dashboard features a satin black powder coat finish, lending a modern touch to the cabin. For those seeking a bit more flair, there is an optional chopped carbon fiber finish available. Staying connected is easier than ever, thanks to the standard 13.1-inch infotainment system that integrates smartphone mirroring capabilities, ensuring that technology is readily accessible at all times.

Mark Cameron, the Managing Director of Defender, expressed his excitement about the new addition, stating, “There’s no denying the presence and purpose of Defender Octa: it’s the tallest and widest Defender, enabling it to tackle even more extreme terrain. The introduction of Defender Octa Black takes things up a notch. We know our clients love giving their Defenders all-black finishes, so our designers have applied this principle to every possible surface – inside and out – to create the ultimate tough luxury Defender Octa.”

As part of its formidable capabilities, the Defender Octa Black is powered by a robust 4.4-liter turbocharged V8 engine, which delivers exceptional performance across various driving conditions. Coupled with Land Rover’s advanced 6D suspension system, the vehicle is engineered to maintain a stable and level footing, no matter how challenging the terrain may be.
