Defender 'Beach Break' Model: A Limited-Edition Tribute to Surf Culture
August 30 2024,
The iconic British adventure brand has just announced its latest limited-edition model that's sure to make waves. The Defender 'Beach Break' is a sun-soaked tribute to coastal living, designed to capture the essence of iconic surf spots from Montauk to Malibu.
A Splash of Coastal Cool
Imagine cruising down the shoreline in a vehicle that embodies the spirit of beach life. That's exactly what Defender has achieved with the 'Beach Break' edition. Limited to just 20 units, this exclusive model is a head-turner that stands out from the crowd.
The 'Beach Break' sports a stunning Tasman Blue exterior that evokes the hues of the ocean, complemented by a crisp white contrast roof. Adding to its unique flair are eye-catching red and orange striped side graphics that run along the doors, reminiscent of classic surfboard designs. Each vehicle proudly displays a 'Beach Break 1/20' badge on the tailgate, highlighting its exclusivity.
Riding the Waves of Innovation
Based on the 2025 Defender 110 S P300, this special edition doesn't just look the part – it's built for coastal adventures. Under the hood, a robust 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine delivers 296 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, providing plenty of power for beach runs and dune exploration.
The 'Beach Break' comes equipped with Defender's legendary Terrain Response system, featuring a dedicated 'sand' driving mode for conquering varied beach conditions. With an impressive wading depth of 35.4 inches, this vehicle is ready to tackle shallow waters and tidal zones with confidence.
Surf-Inspired Comfort and Style
Step inside, and you'll find an interior that's both stylish and practical for beach outings. The durable Light Cloud and Lunar Resist seating can handle sandy swimsuits and wet wetsuits with ease. Rubber mats throughout the cabin offer additional protection against the elements.
Tech-savvy beachgoers will appreciate the 11.4-inch center touchscreen and 12.3-inch Interactive Driver Display, while the Meridian Sound System ensures your beach playlist sounds crisp and clear.
Geared Up for Adventure
The 'Beach Break' comes loaded with accessories that enhance its coastal capabilities. Cross bars and a silver side-mounted gear carrier provide ample space for surfboards and beach gear. Black fixed side steps make it easy to hop in and out, while mud flaps protect the vehicle from sand and spray.
Rolling on 20-inch gloss white wheels fitted with all-terrain tires, this Defender is ready to transition seamlessly from pavement to sand.
A Tribute to Surf Culture
Sam Allen, US Brand Director for Defender, explains the inspiration behind the 'Beach Break': "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."
