Volkswagen: Amarok pickup with designer look
SELF-CONSCIOUS With the new Amarok, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is venturing big steps in the direction of future pickup design. The first near-production drawings show the emphatically sporty orientation of the lines.
The new VW Amarok is coming to the global market with a wealth of new features. These include numerous driver assistance systems that will make everyday life easier for future Amarok customers.
The completely new development gives the model even better off-road properties than the previous generation thanks to increased ground clearance.
At the start again with a diesel V6
The new Amarok from Hanover again comes with a V6 TDI engine. The entire exterior of the vehicle is a testament to power and traction, and the interior has also been upgraded. Comfort, operating concept, connectivity and ambience ensure that the benchmark for the pickup segment in the global one-ton B segment has shifted significantly upwards.
The new edition of the Amarok has grown by ten centimeters to a length of 5.35 meters and the width has also increased.
Striking front and memorable X design
Albert-Johann Kirzinger, Head of Design Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles: "The new Amarok is a convincing all-rounder with its lines. The striking front and above all the memorable X design clearly set the new Amarok apart and emphasize its claim to leadership. We have given clear expression to the strength and power of the new Amarok - with clear Volkswagen DNA, inside and out."
Production in Silverton, South Africa
The name Amarok is derived from the North American Inuit language and means wolf. In its twelve years of production, more than 815,000 units have been sold to date. Developed by teams in Australia and Europe, the next generation is produced in Silverton, South Africa.
In Switzerland, the new Amarok will be available to order from the end of 2022. The market launch is planned for early 2023.
