Volkswagen quietly prices petrol-powered Amarok Aventura
Inclusion of the petrol-powered Aventura, and the pair of Dark Label variants, ups the South African market Amarok range to 16 variants.
Volkswagen has quietly introduced a petrol-powered variant of its Amarok SUV, the Aventura, by listing it on its online configurator. The Aventura is a TSI version of the model, featuring a 2.3 EcoBoost engine that was previously exclusive to the PanAmericana model. The engine produces 222kW/452Nm of power and is mated to a 10-speed automatic gearbox, propelling the Aventura from 0-100 km/h in 7.6 seconds and delivering a combined fuel consumption of 9.7 L/100 km.
With the addition of the EcoBoost engine, the Amarok range now boasts 16 variants. The Aventura joins the Dark Label variants as part of the lineup, following the discontinuation of the 2.0-litre bi-turbodiesel Panther engine. The Aventura's features include 21-inch alloy wheels, Matrix I.Q LED headlights, electric roller shutter, side-steps, and a range of driver assistance technologies such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Lane Keep Assist.
The vehicle is available in nine paint colours and comes standard with a five-year/150 000 km warranty and a five-year/100 000 km maintenance plan.
