Summer may be winding down, but don’t tell Defender that. They’ve just launched a summer-focused limited edition of only 20 vehicles called the “Defender Beach Break,” based on the off-road-ready Defender 110 SUV. The calendar may show summer’s passing, but Defender believes the Beach Break is perfect for those who want to hold onto the summer vibes a little longer.

Why the Defender Beach Break matters

People who buy Defenders enjoy making them their own and limited editions such as the Defender Octa. The Beach Break special edition is no exception—only 20 are being made, each with a unique number from 1 to 20. There will also be a special badge on the tailgate that says “one of 20.”

What’s special about the Defender Beach Break special edition?

The Defender Beach Break hss a unique color combination: a Tasmanian Blue body with a white roof and red and orange stripes on the sides. It also has beach-ready vehicle accessories, including roof rack cross bars, a silver side-mounted gear carrier, black side steps, and mud flaps. It rides on white 20-inch wheels with all-terrain tires.

The Defender has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 296 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, ample force for driving on sand and accessing remote beaches. A selectable special Terrain Response driving mode is designed specifically for driving on the beach, such as on loose sand.

The Defender can drive through water 35.4 inches deep, so cruising along the shoreline shouldn’t be a problem. Just remember, if you’re driving in saltwater, rinse the underside of the vehicle by going through a car wash with vehicle bottom spraying to flush off the salt.

The 2025 Defender 110 S P300 Beach Edition starts at $73,325, including a $1,625 delivery and destination fee.

Polaris unveils three 2025 RZR Pro off-road adventure machines
You don't have to race at Baja to have a total blast with these machines
Polaris OVR 2025 RZR Pro models racing down a sand hill in the desert.

Polaris ORV, the Polaris off-road-vehicle division, announced the 2025 Polaris RZR Pro UTV lineup of tough, go-anywhere utility and racing machines. Polaris introduced the new machines with three R-themes: revived styling, refined rider experience and comfort, and relentless performance and durability.
Why are the RZR's such a big deal?
OLD - The 2025 RZR Pro Lineup HAS ARRIVED | Polaris RZR®
The Polaris RZR is the big dog in desert utility task vehicles. I had a chance to drive the latest RZRs in 2018 and 2019 in the Mojave Desert in Nevada. In just a few hours, starting as a complete novice and with minimum instruction, I was whaling along, having a blast on desert trails and pathways. I quickly learned that the more I trusted the RZRs to do what they were built for, the faster we went and the more fun I had.

Polaris improves the performance and handling of each new generation, so I can only start to imagine how much fun they can unlock. The three Pro models differ in size, features, power, and price, but they all deliver full-out fun. RZRs also have a reputation for class-leading durability and reliability.
