Experience unmatched luxury and immersive sound in the Range Rover SV Black for R5. 7 million
The Range Rover SV Black is the latest luxury addition to the range. Image: Supplied Range Rover has lifted the covers off their most expensive special edition yet, the Range Rover SV Black, offered alongside the Range Rover SV Serenity and Range Rover SV Intrepid derivatives. Before we get into what interior and exterior additions the SV Black receives, there's now even more reason for rap artists to own one. Sensory Floor They'll have to be pretty successful given the price tag of R5 269 200 for the standard wheelbase and R5 718 700 for the long wheelbase, but Body and Soul Seats (BASS) and world-first Immersive Sensory Floor technology seem just the thing. The Sensory Floor incorporates haptic feedback through the floor mats in addition to the seats, creating an expansive and immersive listening experience, allowing occupants to physically feel the music. Four transducers built into the rear and front passenger floor complement the four transducers embedded in the BASS designs, and deep-pile carpets encourage occupants to remove their footwear, so they're even closer to feeling the music. Sensory Floor creates precisely synchronised pulsations in the floor, harmonising with the Meridian Signature Surround System and haptic seat technology using AI optimising software. The Sensory Floor also works with the BASS wellness programmes, designed to calm and soothe occupants with one of its six modes, ranging from "Calm" to "Invigorating". The interior gets Near-Aniline Ebony leather seats with graduated rectangle perforations. Image: Supplied Exterior The exterior is finished in Narvik Gloss Black, the grille in polished Gloss Black mesh, with bonnet lettering also in Gloss Black, complemented by the grille oval, also finished in dark gloss. It stands on Gloss Black 23-inch alloy wheels and, you guessed it, Gloss Black brake callipers featuring darker branding, and the back features a black ceramic SV roundel. Interior The gear lever is finished in satin black ceramic, there are black birch veneers, the seats are Near-Aniline Ebony leather with graduated rectangle perforations and a unique stitching design on the seat upper. To complement the black, the interior receives Moonlight Chrome detailing. Under the bonnet is a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 producing 452kW and 750Nm coupled to an eight-speed automatic transmission powering all four wheels. The Range Rover SV Black, available in Q4, can be ordered in a five-seat standard wheelbase or long wheelbase, with the latter also offering a four-seat option.

Following the recent launches of the Range Rover Sport SV Black and Land Rover Defender Octa Black, the new Range Rover SV Black is the latest model to receive this deep-shadow treatment.

Moonlight Chrome accents are used throughout the cabin to add a dark, jewel-like contrast. Standard equipment includes the brand's Body and Soul Seats, which allow occupants to physically feel the music from the Meridian sound system, and a new Sensory Floor that uses haptic feedback to deliver a similar immersive effect. Power comes from a 4.4 l twin-turbocharged mild-hybrid V8 petrol engine producing 452kW and 750Nm.

Stealthy Defender : Land Rover unveils Defender OCTA Black edition
Land Rover has taken the wraps off the Defender OCTA Black, an all-black version of its flagship performance SUV. This striking edition features more than 30 exterior components finished in either Gloss Black or Satin Black, giving it an unmistakably stealthy presence. Under the bonnet is a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 mild-hybrid engine, producing a formidable 626 BHP and 750 Nm of torque. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds, with a top speed of 250 km/h. The SUV sports a Narvik Black paint job, with an optional matte protective film for added edge. Key exterior highlights include Satin Black Powder Coated scuff plates at the front and rear with exposed recovery eyes, Gloss Black quad exhaust tips, and a Gloss Black front tow eye cover. Even the Land Rover grille badge gets the blackout treatment, paired with darkened silver script. Buyers can choose between 20-inch forged wheels or 22-inch Gloss Black wheels, both paired with black centre caps and Shadow Atlas Defender badging. The Gloss Black brake calipers feature Sentient Silver script, adding a touch of contrast to the monochrome theme. Inside, the dark aesthetic continues with Ebony Semi-Aniline leather combined with Kvadrat fabric on the performance seats. These seats feature new perforation patterns and backrest stitching, while Carpathian Grey details appear on the seatbacks and armrest hinges. The cabin is further enhanced with satin black powder-coated cross-beams, black switchgear, and a black steering wheel. Buyers can also opt for an interior trimmed in Chopped Carbon Fibre. The Defender OCTA Black also retains advanced features like 6D Dynamics suspension, a dedicated OCTA drive mode, and Body and Soul Seats (BASS), enhancing comfort and control on any terrain.

New Land Rover Defender Octa Black breaks cover
Land Rover has lifted the covers off its new Defender Octa Black that, similar to the recently revealed Range Rover Sport SV Black, embraces a sinister darkened aesthetic. Visually, the Octa Black stands out with Narvik Black paintwork complemented by Satin Black Powder Coat accents on the front undershield and rear scuff plates, as well as exposed recovery points finished in matching Satin Black. Gloss Black detailing extends to the front tow eye cover, quad exhaust tips and Land Rover grille badging, which features darkened silver script. Underbody components such as the exhaust silencer cover and the optional deployable tow bar also adopt Gloss or Satin Black finishes. Image: Supplied Wheel options include 20" forged alloys or 22" Gloss Black rims with black centre caps and Shadow Atlas Defender script. Behind them sit Gloss Black brake calipers with contrasting Sentient Silver lettering. Inside, the cabin introduces Ebony Semi-Aniline leather with Kvadrat textile inserts to the Defender range for the first time. Paired with new perforation patterns and backrest stitching, Land Rover says it lends a softer, more tactile finish to the Performance Seats. The seat backs and armrest hinges are finished in Carpathian Grey, while the Cross Car Beam on the dashboard is treated in Satin Black Powder Coat. Optional Chopped Carbon Fibre trim adds further visual impact. As with the regular Defender Octa, power is provided by a BMW-sourced 4.4 l twin-turbocharged mild-hybrid V8 petrol engine delivering 467kW and 750Nm (boosted to 800Nm when Dynamic Launch Mode is engaged). Paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox and high/low range transfer case, Land Rover claims a 0-100km/h sprint time of 4.0 seconds and a top speed of 250km/h (when fitted with 22" wheels). Supporting this formidable straight-line performance is Land Rover's 6D Dynamics suspension system: a hydraulically interlinked set-up with continuously variable semiactive dampers engineered to minimise pitch and body roll while preserving ride comfort. Compared with standard Defender models, the Octa Black sits 28mm higher and has a 68mm wider track. Revised suspension geometry, reinforced wishbones and bespoke dampers with separate accumulators further improve dynamics. Braking is handled by 400mm discs up front with Brembo calipers and the steering system features the fastest ratio of any Defender to date. Inside, the cabin introduces Ebony Semi-Aniline leather with Kvadrat textile inserts to the Defender range for the first time. Image: Supplied The Octa Black also features a range of off-road drive modes, including a dedicated Octa Mode for performance driving in challenging terrain. Land Rover's proven Terrain Response system remains, with its familiar suite of settings including sand, mud and ruts, grass, gravel, snow and rock crawl. A standard ClearSight Ground View camera helps improve visibility in technical off-road scenarios. Priced from R3,979,500, the Defender Octa Black will be available in limited numbers, each sold in exclusive pre-configured specifications.
