Volkswagen Amarok Dark Label launched

Just 300 examples of Volkswagen’s new Amarok Dark Label will be available in the UK when sales begin later this month.

The limited edition pick-up, which is powered by a 177 bhp (132 kW / 180 PS) 2.0 litre BiTDI turbo diesel engine, features an under-bumper skid plate at the front, extended wheel arches and a UV-resistant anthracite-coloured load area coating. Also fitted are darkened taillight clusters and rear privacy glass.

Buyers can choose from Deep Black, Natural Grey or Reflex Silver paintwork. It’s a fairly restricted selection, but all of those shades should complement the black finish that has been applied to the 18” ‘Durban’ alloy wheels, side bars and rear bumper.

Cabin ambience is enhanced thanks to Alcantara upholstery, heated seats, unique velour floor mats and extra dust seals around the doors. What’s more, equipment levels seem generous because the standard specification includes Bluetooth connectivity, touchscreen-controlled satellite navigation, a multi-function steering wheel and heated door mirrors.

With a six-speed manual gearbox, Amarok Dark Label pricing starts at £26,125 on-the-road (excluding VAT). However, only 50 units are being built with that transmission. The remainder are going to have an eight-speed automatic and they cost from £27,855.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
