Earlier this year, Land Rover launched the Defender Octa in India at a starting price of Rs 2.59 crore, ex-showroom. Now, the SUV has received a new all-black version called the Octa Black Edition. Unveiled globally, this version gets several visual upgrades inside and out. Here’s a look at what’s new.
Land Rover Defender Octa Black Edition: All you need to know
The model is painted in Narvik Black and comes with over 30 blacked-out elements like the grille, exhaust tips, tow hooks, scuff plates, and even parts underneath the car. It will be available with an option to choose between 20- or 22-inch gloss black wheels with black brake calipers, that lend it a stealthier look.
Moving inside, the cabin continues the blackout theme with Ebony Semi-Aniline Leather paired with Kvadrat fabric: a first for any Defender. The seats carry new perforation patterns, and the dashboard can be optioned with chopped carbon fibre. Standard features include a new 13.1-inch touchscreen, smoked taillamps, and revised LED signature graphics.
Under the hood, the OCTA Black continues with a 4.4-litre twin-turbo mild-hybrid V8 that delivers 635 hp and 750 Nm, capable of sprinting from 0–100 kmph in just 3.8 seconds. It also retains features like the advanced 6D Dynamics suspension and OCTA Mode for high-speed off-roading.
Having already launched the Range Rover Sport SV Black Edition, Land Rover seems to be riding high on the stealth trend. We can expect the Defender OCTA Black to land in India later this year or early 2026.Stay tuned to TOI Auto for latest updates on the automotive sector and do follow us on our social media handles on Facebook, Instagram and X.
