Land Rover Defender Octa Black review: might at night
Meet the Land Rover Defender Octa Black—so black it seems to swallow the moon. Starting at $347,900, it’s a $24k premium over the standard model for full black treatment: saturated Narvik Black paint on all panels, plus 30+ tiny details like recovery hooks and exhaust parts, plus satin black off-road-resistant components.
We get the full 467kW/750Nm 4.4L twin-turbo V8 (some markets get detuned), though its infotainment is average for the class. Would you drop $24k for this dark luxury splurge?
