Sporting a Pacific Blue Matte Finish
What sets apart the Land Rover Defender Pacific Blue Edition from the standard version is its striking Pacific Blue matte finish, inspired by the captivating hues found in Australia’s East Coast Pacific Ocean. Enhancing this design are contrasting white roof accents with black roof rails along with a sliding panoramic roof and privacy glass.
With its appeal, the Defender showcases its ability to handle terrains by riding on 18-inch white steel wheels and all-terrain tires. To add to its charm, the radiator grille and door handles are highlighted in white.
