Volkswagen wants to get on the luxury band-wagon with a special edition of the
Amarok named Dark Label. It's based on the range-topping Highline grade and
carries a starting price of £ 33,650 (US$ 46,370) in the United Kingdom.
It's finished in an exclusive shade of metallic
grey, called Carbon Steel, and gets several dark exterior bits, such as the
mirror housings, door handles, and rear bumper, 'Dark Label' decals, and
18-inch Rawson alloy wheels. Customers can also have it in two other colors:
Deep Black Pearl and Matte Indium Grey.
VW paid care to the Amarok Dark Label's cabin as
well, giving it Alcantara seats, black headlining, chrome silk gloss-trimmed
air vent bezels, and unique Dark Label floor mats. That's on top of the standard equipment that
includes the 6.33-inch Discover Media infotainment system, power adjustable,
heated and folding side mirrors, automatic headlights and wipers, and others.
Motivation comes from the 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine
that churns out 204 PS and 500 Nm of torque, channeled to all
four corners through an 8-speed automatic transmission. Volkswagen has already
begun taking orders for the Amarok Dark Label, which is limited to "around
200 units" with deliveries starting in May.
