4X4 MARKETPLACEAustralia’s Ultimate New Car Comparison Site whichcar.com.auVW UPS THE ANTE
RESPONDING to claims made by Mercedes-Benz that its X-Class ute will be the
most powerful ute in the segment, Volkswagen will give its V6 TDI Amarok a power
and torque upgrade. The Amarok Aventura concept is promising 190kW and an
undisclosed increase in torque from its 3.0-litre V6 engine. The same VW V6 already
produces 190kW and 580Nm in other Volkswagen Group vehicles such as the
Porsche Macan. The V6 TDI Amarok currently makes 180kW (only available on
overboost) and 550Nm. The V6 X-Class is claimed to produce 190kW and 550Nm.
There’s no word yet if and when the boosted VW will go on sale, but the Aventura
has been used as a top-spec model in the past so we’re expecting it sometime next
year, possibly timed to steal some of the X-Class’s thunder.
VW Australia said at the time of the V6 TDI Amarok’s Aus launch that other variants
of the V6 would come online in 2018, including a manual version with low-range
transfer case, as well as the possibility of lower states of engine tune. Currently, the
V6 Amarok is only available with an eight-speed auto and full-time, single-range
4x4. The manual Amarok would be part-time
dual-range 4x4.
In Europe, the V6 TDI is also available in
120kW and 150kW guises, and one of these
could be employed in an Amarok Core model
as an entry level to the V6 range in Australia.
One thing is for sure: the top end of the 4x4
ute class is going to be hot property in 2018,
and we can’t wait to drive them.Brought to you byDual SR c/c 44,990 L4TD/2.8 M6 420 130 1945 1045 3500 80
