VW Amarok TDV6 Ultimate name changed to Aventura

The Volkswagen Amarok TDV6 Ultimate has adopted the name used on European flagship models – Aventura – and gained some extra equipment while receiving a modest price cut.


The 2021 VW Amarok TDV6 Aventura will start from $72,490 plus on-road costs – pending any special drive-away offers – which is a price cut of $300 compared to the previous Ultimate edition which came out of Germany.

Extra equipment now includes a moulded styling bar or “sail plane” between the rear window and the ute tub.

Standard fare continues to include a Nappa leather interior, 14-way adjustable heated front seats, embedded navigation, Apple Car Play and Android Auto, paddle shifters on the steering wheel, premium trim on the dash, 20-inch machined alloy wheels, bi-Xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights, front and rear sensors, a rear-view camera, illuminated side steps, and a tub liner.

As of the most recent shipments to Australia, all examples of the Volkswagen Amarok will be sourced solely from Pacheco, Argentina.

Previously, the 580Nm TDV6 versions of the Amarok were sourced from Hannover, Germany while four-cylinder and 550Nm TDV6 models came from South America.

Volkswagen dealers have had limited supply of the Amarok in recent months following an unexpected surge in demand during the coronavirus crisis.

However, stock is starting to flow through, though the bulk of deliveries are expected from late January or early February.

Meanwhile, as reported earlier, the first 42 examples of the VW Amarok TDV6 W580 flagship sold out within five minutes of going on sale online. The model has since reverted to dealer orders only.

The first examples of the VW Amarok W580 are due in local showrooms in April 2021 after the Walkinshaw Automotive Group completes final validation work and local testing of the jointly-developed model.
