The Volkswagen Amarok benefits from superb build quality and offers both a spacious cabin and large load area. This strapping pickup comes in Startline, Trendline and Highline trim levels.
Exterior
The handsome Amarok features electrically heated and adjustable door mirrors in black shells that match the vehicle’s rear bumper, while body-coloured fixtures include a front bumper. Tow bar preparation, front and rear mudflaps and 16-inch alloy wheels are fitted as standard. Payload varies between 1,057 litres and 1,091 litres, depending on the model and engine combination selected.
Interior
The Amarok’s five-person cab is upholstered in Austin cloth and is fitted with an easy-clean rubber floor. Standard features include electric front and rear windows, semi-automatic air conditioning and a 12-volt power point. A split-folding rear row enables flexible stowage options.
All models are installed with a 2.0-litre diesel engine. Entry-level Startline grades offer a power output of 103kW, and returns as much as 7.8 l/100km and a 205g/km CO2 emissions figure, making it the most fuel-efficient option available for the Amarok. Optimal performance levels can be achieved with a 133kW variant, which comes with Trendline and Highline Trims. This produces a top speed of 179km/h. Each option is paired with six-speed manual transmission, although Highline grades can be specified with optional eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle can tow as much as 3,000kg, while Highline trims can pull even more.
Technology and safety
An FM/AM radio and an MP3-compatible CD player provide audio entertainment, and AUX connectivity is included too. Safety features include Anti-lock Braking System, Electronic Stabilisation Programme, Hill-start Assist, Hill-descent Control, ISOFIX mountings and a full complement of airbags. The vehicle is secured with remote central locking, an immobiliser and an alarm.
