PanAmericana and Aventura models will see the introduction of all-terrain 18-inch tyres and darkened sports exterior accents combined with a leather-covered dashboard and Harman/Kardon premium audio (PanAmericana) and 21" wheels, leather trim, electronic roll cover and chrome accent exterior (Aventura).
The PanAmericana is diesel V6 exclusive. The Aventura builds on Volkswagen TSI heritage with a 222kW/452Nm 2.3-litre turbo petrol engine, or diesel V6.
Pricing is expected to be in the $70,000-$80,000 range for the Aventura and PanAmericana (with the PanAmericana being closer to $80,000) while the mid-specification Style will be around $64,000.
