Volkswagen UK has introduced a special edition of the Amarok.

It’s called the Atacama and it was named after the famous desert in South America.

It’s available only with the 2,0-litre biturbo diesel engine with the option of a six-speed manual, or eight-speed automatic transmission.

Customers can choose between a black, blue or white exterior, while all the additional extras, like front and rear bars, are finished in black. A nice set of 19-inch alloys is also included.

On the inside the Atacama gets Vienna leather seats and a new leather-wrapped steering wheel, in addition to the usual array of standard features.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
