Another Volkswagen Amarok limited edition

UK customers must be keen on special versions of the Amarok pick-up, because Volkswagen has begun 2015 by introducing another one here. This latest variant is called the Ultimate and production is being restricted to 500 units. A similar model was launched in Germany last June, so that name might sound familiar.

On the outside, it gains LED daytime running lights, some chrome strips for the grille, power-folding heated door mirrors, unique door decals, rear privacy glass and darkened taillight clusters. There’s a choice of either Deep Black or Reflex Silver paintwork, and the look is completed by a set of 19” ‘Aragonit’ five-spoke alloy wheels.

Heated front seats, Alcantara upholstery and a leather-trimmed steering wheel are all part of the interior’s standard specification. Furthermore satellite navigation, Bluetooth and a rear reversing camera come fitted too.

In this country Volkswagen intends to offer just one engine for the Amarok Ultimate, a 2.0 litre BiTDI turbo diesel that produces 177 bhp (132 kW / 180 PS).

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
