Volkswagen launches the Amarok Dark Label

Along with the Amarok Aventura Exclusive concept, Volkswagen will be unveiling the Amarok Dark Label at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show.

This special edition pick-up – which arrives at dealers next spring – is based on the existing Comfortline trim grade. An enhanced specification includes Indium Grey matt paintwork, anthracite-coloured 'Rawson' 18” alloy wheels and lacquered chrome strips in the front grille.

A black finish for several other components completes the exterior look, while the interior gains a black roof lining and floor mats embroidered with the Dark Label logo.

Power is provided by a 3.0 litre V6 turbo-diesel engine that's offered in 160 bhp (120 kW / 163 PS) and 201 bhp (150 kW / 204 PS) guises. The former output can be ordered with either rear-wheel drive or on-demand all-wheel drive, but the latter comes with on-demand all-wheel drive only. Both options are mated to a six-speed manual gearbox.

In Germany, Amarok Dark Label prices start at €33,714 (excluding VAT). UK availability has yet to be confirmed.

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
