Powered by a 626-horsepower, twin-turbo 4.4‑litre mild-hybrid V8, the new DEFENDER OCTA: BLACK, BOLD & BOOSTED is truly a rock star!
Defender OCTA Black, the master of on & off-road performance, has a new, even bolder attitude. Extensive black detailing for the high-performance 4×4 hero gives the toughest, most capable, and most luxurious model in the Defender family an even more purposeful presence and greater luxury.
As many as 30 exterior elements have received black finishes as part of the transformation. Defender OCTA Black is finished in Narvik Black: the truest black in the Defender paint palette. Narvik Black is deep and dark with a gloss finish as standard, but purchasers can personalize the exterior of their OCTA Black by choosing an optional Matte protective film.
The front under-shield and rear scuff plates are finished in Satin Black Powder Coat with exposed recovery eyes in Satin Black, while a Gloss Black tow eye cover at the front and Gloss Black quad exhaust tips at the rear provide a contrasting finish. The Land Rover oval on the grille is black with darkened silver script. Underbody elements feature a Gloss or Satin Black finish, including the cover for the exhaust silencer and center box. A choice of 20-inch forged wheels or 22-inch Gloss Black wheels is available, with black center caps and Shadow Atlas Defender script, while Gloss Black brake calipers feature contrasting Sentient Silver script.
To complement its dramatically dark exterior, the DEFENDER OCTA: BLACK, BOLD & BOOSTED interior takes tough luxury to a new level. Ebony Semi-Aniline Leather with KvadratTM is introduced to Defender for the first time, bringing a soft and tactile finish to the performance seats. They feature unique perforation patterns on the seats, with new stitching detail on the backrests, while the seat backs and armrest hinges are finished in Carpathian Grey. Across the dashboard, the cross-car beam is finished in Satin Black Powder Coat; an available optional Chopped Carbon Fiber finish for interior details delivers the epitome of tough luxury.
Mark Cameron, Managing Director, Defender, said: “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.”
DEFENDER OCTA: BLACK, BOLD & BOOSTED, is the performance hero of the Defender family, with 626 horsepower 4.4‑litre twin turbo mild-hybrid V8 power, innovative 6D Dynamics suspension, and a dedicated OCTA Mode for performance off‑road use. Defender is the official automotive partner of Oasis Live ’25, transporting the British band on their long-awaited 41-date global tour, which starts today.
