The New Amarok - A Pick-Up Like No Other!
Tough. Rugged. Refined.
The new pickup from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is one of a kind. Whether shifting a 1,000kg load up a 100% gradient, or covering 1,000 kilometers on one tank, Amarok's been designed to take even the toughest challenges in its stride.
Tested in Dakar, the new pickup impressively demonstrated that it can calmly cope with even the most stringent conditions during its first endurance test in January at the most arduous rally in the world. The Amarok was the official escort vehicle for the 2011 Dakar Rally through Argentina and Chile, and neither temperatures of 50°C nor mountain passes over 4,500 metres high were able to daunt it. it's flexible enough to be used day-to-day about town. Volkswagen's Amarok will take you anywhere you need to go.
High standard of build quality and all the attention to detail you'd expect, the Volkswagen Amarok looks set to make a huge impression.
- Volkswagen's first 1-tonne pickup.
- 4MOTION®, plus Hill Holder and Hill Descent Assist, make light work of difficult slopes.
- Haul up to 2800kg worth of heavy machinery, trailers, boats or caravans.
- Driving aids including Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP), and Electronic Differential Lock (EDL), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) give you maximum control on any surface.
- Widest-in-class load area means Amarok can hold a Euro pallet sideways.
Selectable 4MOTION all-wheel drive.
Tough assignments call for efficient power management. With selectable 4MOTION all-wheel drive the Amarok is able to distribute power equally between the front and rear axle for reliable traction on almost all surfaces at the push of a button. The Amarok is available with selectable 4MOTION all-wheel drive – plus the electronic stabilisation programme (ESP)as standard.
High-grade, safe interior
Comfort on a par with that of a passenger car: the interior of the Amarok offers comfortable seats, plenty of head and legroom, a low interior noise level and a generous amount of stowage space. The high-grade cockpit and stowage facilities make sure that you are extremely comfortable and safe in the Amarok. The standard specification includes not only airbags for the driver and front passenger but also ABS, ESP with trailer stabilisation, hill holder and hill descent assist, and more besides.
2.0 litre TDI® engine*.
The Amarok is equipped with one of the most efficient engines of our time. The two exhaust turbochargers result in impressive response at lower engine speeds and increased output at higher revs. With 120 kW (163 bhp) at a torque of 400 Nm you can quickly leave the daily grind, and high operating costs, behind you – as the Amarok with rear-wheel drive has average fuel consumption of only 7.6 litres per 100 km. No wonder the Volkswagen Race Touareg relies on the same Biturbo engine technology for the most gruelling rally in the world – the Dakar Rally.
Payload of up to one tonne
Heavy-duty leaf springs equip the Amarok for a maximum load of up to 1,137 kg**. The 2.52 m² load area with a through-loading width of 1,222 mm is the widest in its class – Euro pallets can be loaded crosswise with ease.
