Special-edition Volkswagen Amarok pick-up packed with extras

Pick-ups like the Volkswagen Amarok pull of the trick of being a reliable workhorse with a little style thrown in….

IF you think a stylish 4×4 pick-up is right for your business, how about an exclusive, limited-edition VW Amarok loaded with goodies?

Volkswagen has introduced a special version of its Amarok pick-up, limited to just 300 vehicles for UK buyers.

Only 300 will be sold in the UK. Get ’em while they’re hot…

It’s based on the Trendline special model but packs more than £3400-worth of additional equipment – VW says it represents a £2000 saving.

The exclusive model is called the Amarok Edition and with the Trendline specification comes with body-coloured bumpers and wheel arches.

The additonal features provided with the Amarok Edition are 18in Durban alloy wheels, black styling bars across the load area, a black side step, rear privacy glass and special-edition decals.

There’s also Bluetooth connectivity and sat nav with a five-inch colour touchscreen, in addition to front and rear parking sensors, interior floor mats and a protective coating for the load area as standard.

The Amarok edition is powered by Volkswagen’s range-topping 2.0-litre BiTDI 180hp engine, which develops 420Nm of torque and provides a towing capability of up to 3200kg.

There’s a choice of gearboxes, too. A six-speed manual transmission comes with selectable 4MOTION, or there’s a new eight-speed automatic gearbox with permanent 4MOTION.

The auto-box-equipped model also comes with BlueMotion Technology, which includes a start/stop system, regenerative braking and low rolling-resistance tyres for improved economy and emissions.

There’s a choice of two colours: Deep Black, with silver door mirrors, or Reflex Silver, with black door mirror covers.

The Amorak edition will be on sale from July. Prices start from £22,495 (excluding VAT) for the manual transmission model and rise to £24,225 (excluding VAT) for the auto.
