New Land Rover Defender Octa Black unveiled with darkened, sinister look
The new Defender Octa Black is finished in the new Narvik Black paint scheme with over 30 exterior elements finished in black for a complete stealth look.
Check Offers JLR has taken the wraps off the new Defender Octa Black, bringing a new paint finish to the power-packed SUV. The new Defender Octa Black builds on the absolutely ludicrous Octa variant, but with an all-black theme for that sinister look. Land Rover has gone to great lengths for an extensive black detailing on the performance 4x4, which promises to set it apart from the regular Defender SUVs.
Defender Octa Black: All-Black Everywhere
The new Defender Octa Black is finished in the new Narvik Black paint scheme, which the automaker calls the “truest black" in the Defender palette. The new Narvik Black gets a gloss finish, while clients will be able to personalise the exterior with an optional matte protective film.

Moreover, about 30 exterior elements have been finished in black to keep up with the theme. This includes the front undershield and rear scuff plates in Satin Black Powder Coat with exposed recovery eyes in Satin Black.The tow eye cover at the front and quad exhaust tips at the rear get the gloss black finish. The Land Rover oval on the grille is finished in black as well with the darkened silver script. Other blacked-out elements include the exhaust silencer and centre box, and optional electrically deployable towbar, all of which either get a gloss or satin black finish.
Customers of the Defender Octa Black have the option to choose between 20- to 22-inch gloss black wheels with black centre caps and Shadow Atlas Defender script. Even the brake calipers are finished in gloss black with the lettering in a contrasting Sentient Silver.
Defender Octa Black: Blacked-Out Cabin
The cabin takes the dark route even more seriously with the new Ebony Semi-Aniline Leather with Kvadrat upholstery on the performance seats. Kvadrat brings new perforation patterns on the seats with new stitching detail on the backrests. The seat backs and armrest hinges are finished in Carpathian Grey. Other enhancements include the cross car beam finished in satin black, while there is an optional chopped carbon fibre finish across the interior, in case it wasn’t already black enough.
Speaking on developing the new black variant, 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."
