Does petrol power work in VW’s topshelf ute as well as it does in the Ford Mustang? Full Review: https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial...

The lure of highpriced luxury dualcab 4x4 utes is ongoing for Australian newcar buyers. But rather than just add some nice trimmings and chuck a sailplane on its turbodiesel flagship, Volkswagen has taken the concept a step further.

Look under the bonnet of the 2023 Volkswagen Amarok Aventura TSI452 4MOTION (phew!) and you’ll see the same 2.3litre fourcylinder turbopetrol engine as used by the Ford Mustang muscle car.

No other leading brand has opted to go outside the diesel mainstream for its ute model range. VW reckons it will have real appeal among buyers making the swap from passenger cars to utes. Successful strategy or not, it’s definitely an interesting drive.
