DEFENDER IS CELEBRATING AUSTRALIA’S Pacific coastline and its surfing culture with the ultra-exclusive Defender Pacific Blue Edition, an embodiment of purposeful design inspired by natural wonders.
Limited to just 15 examples, the new Defender Pacific Blue Edition will be revealed during exclusive retreats at Soma Byron Bay between 5 and 13 December. With unique Defender drive excursions and curated wellness sessions, these immersive experiences reflect the lifestyle offered by Australia’s long surfing coastline and Defender’s commitment to roving the land.
The Defender Pacific Blue Edition will be sold exclusively in 90 body design with the D250 powertrain – a 3.0-litre twin turbocharged Ingenium six-cylinder diesel engine delivering 183kW at 4,000 rpm and 570 Nm of torque between 1250 rpm and 2550rpm.
Each of the 15 Limited Edition models will be wrapped in a stunning Pacific Blue matte finish, contrasted with a white roof and enhanced with black roof rails, a sliding glass panoramic roof and privacy glass. It is also equipped with white 18-inch steel wheels and all-terrain tyres, adding to its rugged appearance.
A handful of distinctive touches have also been made to the interior of the Defender Pacific Blue Edition. Each model is based on the S trim level and includes eye-catching white contrasting elements on the steering wheel and door panels, plus a white powder coated brushed finish cross beam dashboard. In addition, this Defender Pacific Blue Edition features Ebony 12-way grained leather heated semi-powered front seats and an upgraded Meridian Sound System.
Each vehicle is equipped with electronic air suspension and adaptive dynamics and headlamp levelling which will come in handy when owners are making their way to their favourite Pacific Ocean beach.
Each Defender Pacific Blue Edition is equipped with a unique custom “Defender” surfboard and design cues from this limited-edition Defender. Other lifestyle-enhancing accessories include a Black Side-mounted gear carrier, fixed side steps, an Aqua Sports Carrier, Portable Rinse System, tow hitch receiver and locking wheel nuts.
Each vehicle features unique badging that denotes that it is ‘1 of 15’, enhancing both its exclusiveness and collectability. The Defender Pacific Blue Edition is available to order now through Australian Defender retailers. Priced from $129,976 (plus on-road costs) and deliveries will commence from May 2024.
