Volkswagen launches the Amarok Aventura

A special version of the Amarok pick-up is intended to appeal to customers who want a more upmarket offering. Named Aventura, it combines a distinctive exterior with a luxurious interior.

The enhanced specification includes 20” ‘Talca’ alloy wheels and power-folding door mirrors. A body-coloured ‘sports bar’ and a protective coating have been added to the cargo box as well, but a bespoke roll-top cover is a cost option.

Inside, ErgoComfort front seats, black Nappa leather upholstery and unique floor mats increase the opulence levels. Discover Media navigation and the Lights and Vision pack come as standard, too.

A 3.0 litre V6 turbocharged diesel engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and a 4Motion all-wheel drive system. Although output is ordinarily rated at 254 bhp (190 kW / 258 PS), that figure can rise briefly to 268 bhp (200 kW / 272 PS) when using overboost.

The 2019 Amarok Aventura is available to order now. On-the-road prices start at £39,960 excluding VAT (or £47,891 including VAT).

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
