JLR has revealed special editions of its flagship Defender OCTA, Range Rover Sport SVandRange Rover SV luxury-performance SUVs, and you’ll be able to get them in any color you wish – as long as it’s Narvik Black.

All three special-edition SUVs – based on the flagship variants of their respective model ranges – feature interiors and exteriors which might be almost completely black. Well, Land Rover couldn’t thoroughly paint the tail-lights…

The 2 Rangies make their in-person debut at this weekend’s Goodwood Festival of Speed and will likely be available to order in Australia later this yr, ahead of first local customer deliveries in early 2026, while the Defender OCTA Black is accessible to order now before deliveries later this yr.

Defender OCTA

Priced from $318,800 before on-road costs, the Defender OCTA Black is finished in deep, glossy Narvik Black like the opposite special-edition SUVs, but with satin black powder-coated front undershield and rear scuff plates, Satin Black exposed recovery eyes, a gloss black tow eye cover on the front, and gloss black quad exhaust outlets.

A whole bunch of recent automotive deals can be found through CarExpert right away. Get the experts in your side and rating an important deal. Browse now.

Even where you’re unlikely to look, Land Rover has gone and painted things black – the quilt for the exhaust silencer and centre box, for instance, feature a special black finish.

Land Rover is offering the OCTA Black with either 20-inch forged wheels or 22-inch gloss black wheels, with black centre caps and ‘Shadow Atlas’ Defender script.

Behind these sit gloss black brake calipers with contrasting black script. No, just kidding, the script is finished in Sentient Silver, one among the few reprieves from black on the special edition’s exterior.

Land Rover can also be offering the OCTA Black with an available matte protective film.

Inside, there’s semi-aniline leather with Kvadrat (textile) upholstery – a primary for the Defender.

The Performance Seats up front feature unique perforation patterns and recent stitching details on the backrests, while the seat backs and armrest hinges are finished in Carpathian Grey.

Those seats feature recent Body and Soul Seats (BASS) technology, which Land Rover says allows those within the front row to feel the music through the seats in addition to simply hearing it.

The dashboard contains a satin black powder-coated beam, with chopped carbon-fibre trim optional.

Land Rover says it gave the Defender OCTA the Black treatment because so lots of its customers love to provide their vehicles the blackout treatment anyway, so it allowed its designers to “[apply] this principle to each possible surface in and out”.

If the Black edition isn’t to your liking, you’ll be able to get the usual Defender OCTA in a handful of colors including recent Sargasso Blue and Borasco Grey finishes. A Patagonia White matte wrap will likely be available from late 2025.

The special edition advantages from changes made to the Defender lineup for model yr 2026 (MY26), including a brand new 13.1-inch infotainment touchscreen and revised headlights and tail-lights.

The OCTA sits atop the Defender lineup, featuring a twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre mild-hybrid petrol V8 powertrain sourced from BMW, producing 467kW of power and 750Nm of torque.

Range Rover Sport SV Black

The Range Rover Sport SV features the identical 4.4-litre V8 because the Defender OCTA, and its special-edition Black treatment is similarly extensive.

Available to order from later this yr, ahead of first arrivals expected in early 2026, it’s priced from $335,395 before on-road costs.

Finished in Narvik Black and wearing a Narvik Gloss Black exterior pack, the SV Black also contains a black-painted carbon-fibre bonnet.

The solid 23-inch alloy wheels have a gloss black finish, and behind them sit brake calipers with a gloss black finish. The quad exhaust outlets are also finished in, you guessed it, gloss black.

You step on illuminated black tread plates as you enter a cabin featuring Ebony Windsor leather and splashes of Gloss Grand Black trim.

Range Rover SV Black

The flagship of the JLR lineup has also received the Black treatment, and is accessible to order from late this yr and priced from $430,000 before on-road costs.

JLR is offering it with either the standard-length wheelbase and a five-seat configuration, or in long-wheelbase four- or five-seat variants.

All feature the twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre mild-hybrid petrol V8 of the opposite Black editions, but within the Range Rover this produces 452kW and 750Nm.

The Black edition is finished in Narvik Gloss Black, and wears a gloss black mesh grille with a “subtle dark gloss” badge, above which sits gloss black bonnet lettering.

The 23-inch alloy wheels are finished in gloss black, and behind them sit gloss black brake calipers.

Other exterior details include a black ceramic SV roundel on the rear.

Inside, the ‘Near-Aniline’ leather – claimed to be “silky” to the touch – has an Ebony finish, and there are black birch veneers, a satin black ceramic gear shifter, and Moonlight Chrome detailing for a “dark, moody, jewel-like finish to your complete cabin”.

JLR can also be introducing Rear Body and Soul Seat and Sensory Floor technology on its flagship long-wheelbase SV models – including the special-edition Black.

The latter sees haptic feedback delivered through the ground mats via 4 transducers built into the front and rear footwells, creating an “expansive and immersive listening experience, allowing occupants to physically feel the music”.

JLR even encourages you to kick off your shoes to feel the “true full-body audio experience” through the deep-pile carpets, and guarantees the system offers “precisely synchronised pulsations” harmonised with the RR Meridian Signature Surround System.

The front and rear BASS seats follow the identical principle, but involving the seats as a substitute of the ground.

The Black gets front Body and Soul Seats in regular-length guise, with long-wheelbase variants also getting the rear Body and Soul Seats plus the Sensory Floor.
