Land Rover Defender Pacific Blue Edition Debuts in Australia with Sliding Panoramic Glass Roof, and More

If you enjoy surfing, Land Rover's unique edition based on the Land Rover Defender can be your travel companion along the Australian coastline. The Defender Pacific Blue Edition commemorates Australia's surfing lifestyle and features a bespoke Land Rover surfboard. It is restricted to a total of 15 units and houses a 3.0-litre inline-six twin-turbo diesel motor underneath its skin. It is important to keep in mind that the limited-edition model, which is based on the Defender 90 two-door, is exclusive to the Australian market. In India, the Defender is a popular model and comes in three variants - Defender 90, Defender 110, and Defender 130. According to industry reports, the SUV accounted for a considerable share of the brand's overall sales this year, with more than 1,000 deliveries.

The Land Rover Defender Pacific Blue Edition is an excellent option for surfers in Australia. However, before you purchase this limited edition, let's look at its distinguishing traits and other characteristics.
