This is the brand-new !

's ever-popular mid-sized SUV has actually had a facelift, and Mat's ready to discover what's changed and whether it can compete with rivals like the Peugeot 3008 and Skoda Kodiaq.

When it comes to the style, there are a number of modifications over the previous edition. We've got our hands on the R-Line edition, which has a few sportier elements than the entry-level automobile. In advance, there's a full-length light bar, and it likewise features an aggressive lower bumper and some genuine vents. Along the side this edition comes with black window surrounds, contrasting door mirrors and black roofing bars. At the back, there's another full-length light bar and (the good news is!) no phony exhausts to be found anywhere!

There are a number of updates on the inside too. This R-Line edition includes ambient lights built into the dash on the guest side, and this car is also specced with an upgraded infotainment screen! It's a very clear screen, although sadly, it can be a bit laggy sometimes. The environment controls are also managed through the screen as well. There's a large digital motorist's display screen, and the equipment selector has actually transferred to a stalk on the guiding wheel.

There are a couple of engine options available. The entry-level is a 1.5-litre turbo gas that can deliver 130hp, while another 1.5-litre turbo petrol can put down 150hp. There's one diesel offered – a 2-litre turbo diesel that creates 150hp. There are also 2 plug-in hybrids available – both use the 1.5-litre turbo gas, with one creating 204hp, and one producing 272hp. These cars and trucks come with a 20kWh battery pack that can drive on electric power alone for up to 77 miles!

The begins at ₤ 34,000, rising to approximately ₤ 48,000 for the top-of-the-range edition. So is it worth it? You'll need to stick to Mat to see for yourself!

      Since when do you have to look for a button when you want to operate it? You can find it in the dark without looking. You must be someone who also has to look at the gearshift to change gear.

    Edit: for those who disagree with me, just look at the base variants of both generations. That will clear things up. Any car will look cool in the most sporty trim(well except maybe current BMWs).

      It won’t work. People have already complained to VW, they promised more physical controls and just added volume knob on Amarok. The only thing they understand is money, so just don’t buy it. Or we need to start an activism group to publicly and brutally criticize all the crap, because no car journalist will be critical, due to having their arses sold in a one way or another.
