The Volkswagen Amarok Ultimate V6 has gained a new
option: matte paint, in either blue or grey. The premium paint will set buyers
back a further AUD 3990. The Amarok Ultimate V6 starts at AUD 67,990 before on-road
costs. The entry-level Amarok V6, the AUD 59,990 Highline, cannot be specified
with this new option.
The high price won’t put off any potential
buyers, as supply is currently constrained and some punters are willing to pay
over the odds to secure Volkswagen’s V6 ute, including two that were sold
recently at auction for at least five per cent over the list price.
Under normal circumstances, the V6 models are said
to account for over half of the Amaroks sold in Australia. The company plans on
introducing addition V6 Amarok models in the near future, including the Canyon
V6.
All models in the Amarok V6 range are powered by a
3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 with 225 Hp of power and 550 Nm of torque. Drive is
sent to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. V6 Amarok
models have a claimed 0-100 km/h time of 7.9 seconds.
