Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has launched a range-topping 3.0 TDI V6 version of its Amorak pick-up truck.

The engine, which produces 258PS with a 14PS overboost and 580Nm of torque, will be available in the Highline and Aventura versions.

Both are fitted with permanent 4Motion all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic gearbox come as standard.

Functions such as bi-xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights are part of the standard specification of the 258PS Highline and Aventura.

The Amarok with the more powerful V6 engine under the bonnet also has a number of additional visual modifications: roof liner, pillar trim and other roof elements in the Amarok Aventura are, for example, in titanium black. Together with the seats in titanium black Nappa leather, they produce a very harmonious, appealing look.

The Light & Sight pack (Leaving and Coming Home function and intermittent wiper function with rain sensor), front fog lights with cornering lights and electric fold-in exterior mirrors are also standard features on the Aventura and available as options on the Highline.

The vehicle will be available to order from June, with delivery in September. UK prices will be announced in due course.
