Volkswagen Amarok Black Editions revealed

A few more Amarok pick-ups need to find buyers, so Volkswagen has resorted to introducing a couple of Black Edition models.

One is based on the Highline version while the other uses the Aventura as its starting point. Both come with numerous black components, such as a polished grille treatment, 20” ‘Talca’ alloy wheels, sidebars, the rear bumper and a styling bar behind the cab.

  • Black Edition (204 PS) – £35,790 / £42,885

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.

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
