If you’re of the mindset that high quality materials
can help just about any car when it comes to interior aesthetics, then you’ll
probably appreciate what Polish tuner Carlex Design did to this VW Amarok
pickup truck.
Hidden behind an Ultramarine exterior is a cabin
that looks more premium than it normally does. The Amarok
is far from being VW’s best effort regarding comfort and quality its
strengths lie elsewhere.
Before we get into what Carlex managed to accomplish
here, we’ll point out that this particular Amarok is the Aventura version,
which means it’s pretty well spec’d. On-board, you’ll find features such as DAB
radio, a 6.3-inch infotainment system with sat-nav, cruise control, hill start
and descent control and more.
This version also comes with leather trim as
standard, things were definitely taken to greater extremes. The
interior has a dual tone black and blue theme, with leather and Alcantara
covering most surfaces, including some that were previously just hard plastic.
The blue contrast stitching also plays an important role, visually.
As for what’s underneath the hood, that would be the
VW Group’s 3.0-liter V6 TDI diesel engine, specifically the 224 PS, 550 Nm version. In a straight line, it can take the Amarok Aventura from 0 to
100 km/h in 7.9 seconds, before maxing it out at 193 km/h.
