Land Rover announce Defender 26MY OCTA Black

As its name suggests, OCTA Black is an all-black interpretation of the unstoppable Defender flagship, combining extreme all-terrain performance with an even bolder appearance.

Many exterior elements are uniquely finished in either Gloss Black or Satin Black, with wheel and paint finish options enabling clients to further personalise OCTA Black.

The Land Rover oval on the grille is black with darkened silver script. Satin Black Powder Coat is applied to the front undershield and rear scuff plates and the exposed recovery eyes are also finished in satin black, with the brake calipers being finished in Gloss Black.

At the rear, the quad exhaust tips are Gloss Black. Even underbody elements feature a Gloss or Satin Black finish, including the cover for the exhaust silencer and centre box, and the optional electrically deployable towbar.

The interior features new and unique Ebony Semi-Aniline Leather and Kvadrat™ Performance Seats with exclusive perforation pattern and stitching detail, as well as new Carpathian Grey seat backs. The seats retain the with Body & Soul Seats technology developed in partnership with industry leader SUBPAC™.

A satin black powder coat finish for the Cross Car Beam completes the bold new look, with optional chopped carbon fibre finishers being available for an alternative interior style.

Deliveries of the Land Rover OCTA Black are expected August 2025. Contact Grange Land Rover for further information.
