Mahwah, NJ, August 30, 2024: British adventure brand Defender celebrates summer lifestyle with a limited‑edition model aligned to the beach lifestyle of its enthusiast base. Limited to just 20 units, the ultimate Defender 110 for beach adventure lifestyle is the Defender Beach Break influenced by the coastline and surf culture of iconic locations including Montauk NY, Malibu CA, and the North Shore of Oahu, HI.

The ocean‑inspired exterior design starts with brilliant Tasman Blue paint along with a white contrast roof and 20‑inch white gloss wheels. Defender ‘Beach Break’ sets itself apart with a red and orange striped side graphic that runs along the exterior doors of the vehicle and includes a ‘Beach Break 1/20’ badge on the tailgate.

The interior features durable Light Cloud & Lunar Resist seating, robust enough to counter the beach elements, cross vehicle beam in Light Cloud Powder Coat finish, an 11.4‑inch center touchscreen, 12.3‑inch Interactive Driver Display and Meridian Sound System. Rubber mats line the floor and cargo area for additional protection.

The Defender has always been at home at the beach, windows open, surfboards on the roof, wetsuit in the back. This limited edition ‘Beach Break’ is an homage to that lifestyle, with a modern interpretation inspired from the legendary US surfing beaches from Montauk to Malibu. These iconic locations are known for their surf culture, casual luxury, rugged shoreline and powerful waves – a perfect destination for Defender vehicles of all vintages.

Notes to Editors

1 These features are not a substitute for driving safely with due care and attention, and will not function under all circumstances, speeds, weather and road conditions. The driver should not assume that these features will correct errors of judgment in driving. Please consult your owner’s manual or your local authorized Land Rover Retailer for more details.

2 Driving in floodwaters or moving water should be avoided. Driving through water can be extremely dangerous. The Wade Sensing feature only detects depth of water the vehicle is in at the present time and not of water ahead or around the vehicle. Therefore, Wade Sensing cannot predict whether it is safe to proceed and cannot detect steep drops in grade around the vehicle. The driver is responsible for determining the conditions of the route being driven.
