Amarok Aventura Exclusive concept revealed

Calling the Amarok Aventura Exclusive a 'concept' is arguably a misnomer. In reality, it merely previews a more powerful version of Volkswagen's pick-up.

Output from the 3.0 litre V6 turbocharged diesel engine has been increased to 254 bhp (190 kW / 258 PS). However, the effects on performance and efficiency aren't known, because those figures have yet to be released.

As per the current 221 bhp (165 kW / 224 PS) Amarok range-topper, the rest of the drivetrain consists of an eight-speed automatic gearbox and permanent all-wheel drive.

Eye-catching Turmeric Yellow Metallic paintwork is complemented by polished 19” 'Milford' alloy wheels and various chrome highlights. A particularly notable new feature is the cargo area's aluminium roll cover, which is both lockable and waterproof.

For the interior, Volkswagen has opted for black leather upholstery with contrasting yellow stitching. Also fitted are the Discover Media navigation system, fourteen-way adjustable ergoComfort front seats and the just-introduced black roof lining.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

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
