Volkswagen introduces the Amarok Atacama

Another Amarok special edition has been launched. This latest one is called Atacama and, following a familiar formula, it gains plenty of extra specification.

The interior features leather upholstery, along with a touchscreen-based satellite navigation system, Bluetooth connectivity and a leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel.

Unique bodywork decals, bi-xenon headlights and a set of 19” 'Cantera' alloy wheels distinguish the new arrival. Also fitted are black styling bars and a 'Durabed' protective coating for the cargo area.

Power is provided by a 177 bhp (132 kW / 180 PS) 2.0 litre BiTDI turbo diesel engine. Buyers can order either a six-speed manual gearbox or an eight-speed automatic transmission, both of which come with 4Motion four-wheel drive.

Available now in a choice of Deep Black, Horizon Blue or Candy White paint colours, the Amarok Atacama costs up to £2,436 more than the existing Highline version. Despite that substantial premium, Volkswagen is expecting to sell around 500 examples in the UK.
