Land Rover has whipped the wraps off the Defender Octa Black, with the local arm of the British marque revealing how much the menacing-looking limited edition will cost in South Africa. See pricing below…
Following the reveal of the Range Rover Sport SV Black, Land Rover has now applied the same formula to the flagship Defender, the Octa. And it will strictly be available in limited numbers.
The Defender Octa Black features Narvik Black exterior paintwork, Satin Black Powder Coat finish for the front undershield and rear scuff plates, and gloss black exhaust outlets. Several underbody elements have also been finished in the latter hue. The limited edition is available with the choice of 20- and 22-inch wheels, replete with black centre caps.
The exterior theme is carried over to the cabin, where the facia is finished in black and the seats are upholstered in Ebony semi-aniline leather and textile material. Carbon-fibre trim is available as a cost option.
As a reminder, the Coventry automaker’s most powerful Defender employs a 4.4-litre V8, sourced from BMW. The twin-turbocharged petrol unit produces a healthy 467 kW and 750 N.m of torque, delivered to all four corners via an eight-speed automatic transmission. According to Land Rover, these figures allow the pinnacle Defender to sprint to 100 km/h from a standstill in 4.0 seconds, before topping out at 250 km/h, or 210 km/h when fitted with 20-inch wheels.
Land Rover Defender Octa Black Price in South Africa
The Defender Octa Black is priced from R3 979 500, making it R315 900 more expensive than the standard Defender Octa, which we sampled in First Edition form in January 2025. Included in the pricing are a five-year/100 000 km maintenance plan and a warranty spanning the same number of years and distance.

Said Mark Cameron, Managing Director of the Defender brand, “The introduction of the Defender Octa Black takes things up a notch [on the standard derivative]. 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.”
