Ride the Waves with Land Rover Defender Pacific Blue Edition
by AutoExpert | 14 December, 2023
Australia's surfers and beach lovers, rejoice! Land Rover is bringing the spirit of the ocean to the roads with its exclusive Defender Pacific Blue Edition, a tribute to Australia's stunning coastline and vibrant surfing culture. But here's the catch: only 15 lucky Aussies will get the chance to own this unique model.
At the heart of the Pacific Blue Edition is the two-door Defender 90, powered by the D250 powertrain. This means a robust 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged Ingenium six-cylinder diesel engine, delivering a punchy 183 kW (245 hp) and a hefty 570 Nm (420 lb-ft) of torque. While the engine might be familiar to Defender enthusiasts, it's the design details that make the Pacific Blue Edition truly special.
Each of these limited-edition Defenders boasts a striking matte Pacific Blue exterior, beautifully offset by a white roof and sleek black roof rails.
This off-roader isn't just about looks; it's practical too, with a sliding panoramic glass roof, privacy glass, sturdy 18-inch steel wheels, and all-terrain tires ready for any adventure.
Inside, the Defender Pacific Blue Edition continues to impress. The cabin is adorned with white contrasting elements on the steering wheel and door panels, luxurious Ebony 12-way grained leather heated semi-powered front seats, and an upgraded Meridian Sound System.
The dash features a white accent, and each vehicle is proudly marked with a ‘1 of 15’ badge. For those who love their gadgets and gear, there are options galore, including a side-mounted gear carrier, fixed side steps, and even a Defender-branded surfboard.
Land Rover unveiled this special edition during the week-long Defender Experience in Byron Bay, a gathering for Defender owners in the coastal town. Starting at AU$129,976, the first deliveries of this surf-inspired Defender are set to roll out from May 2024.
