VW is introducing the most luxurious version of the
Amarok pickup truck in the UK in the form of the Aventura special edition. The new range-topping version of
the VW Amarok is available to order from today, with a starting price of
£ 39,960, excluding VAT. That price tag positions the Amarok directly against
the Mercedes X-Class 350d, which costs from £ 38,350, excluding VAT.
For that amount of money, the new VW Amarok Aventura
comes with 20-inch Talca alloy wheels, a body-colored sports bar, chrome-plated
side bars with step and LED lighting, 14-way adjustable seats dressed in soft
Nappa leather, automatic climate control, infotainment system with touchscreen
display and App-Connect, reversing camera and more.
Like all Amarok models, the new Aventura special
edition also comes with underbody cladding, power-folding door mirrors and a
protective coating for the bed. Customers will be also offered Ravenna Blue or
Indium Grey matt paint finishes at the reduced price of £ 2,335 (ex VAT). Other
options include model-specific Mountain top roll covers in black or silver for
£ 1387.50 (ex VAT).
Power comes from VW’s 3.0-liter TDI V6 engine
producing 254 hp under normal driving and 268 hp during
overboost. Torque is rated at 580 Nm, produced between 1,400 and
3,000 rpm, channeled to the 4Motion all-wheel drive system via an eight-speed
automatic transmission.
