A workhorse with style
The International Van of the Year jury formed of renowned transport journalists from 25 countries recognised the Amarok’s mix of workhorse utility and excellent finish and comfort, noting the unique eight-speed automatic gearbox and seating for five adults. The jury were particularly taken by the on- and off-road capabilities of the V6 Amarok as it became the only pick-up to win the International Pick-up award for the second time.
Uncompromising off road. Spirited on it. The multiple award-winning Amarok picked up another trophy for What Car? Pick-up of the Year for 2019.
Strong, tough and just as comfortable off-road as on. The Volkswagen Amarok is built for maximum driving pleasure – Gravel, tarmac, earth.
In the Amarok you’ll experience the pinnacle of driving comfort on almost any terrain. It combines high ground clearance and excellent body stability with proven 4MOTION all-wheel drive. The result: traction in virtually every situation, even with heavy payloads.
With 45 degree climbing ability in a 50 degree side angle, make a molehill out of a mountain. The Amarok’s wide wheelbase and increased ground clearance mean it can handle even extreme angles, gradients and slopes. So you can confidently tackle even the steepest terrain.
Because hard work deserves a comfortable ride – Amarok’s 3+2 leaf springs as standard, you can be rest assured that you’ll have a comfortable ride even with payloads of up to 1,146kg.
The outstanding off-road ABS as well as the Hill Descent Assist ensure high levels of safety across all terrains. Optional robust underride guard package protects the fuel tank against stones and branches on the ground.
The Amarok offers premium driving comfort, even under the toughest of conditions. This is thanks to the perfect harmony created between the running gear and drive calibration – combined with the proven and tested 4MOTION all-wheel drive which packs a punch when you need it most. The outstanding off-road ABS function also helps to reduce braking distances on loose terrain.
No other pick-up provides so much space between the wheel arches. The loading width of 1,222 mm even enables Euro pallets to be loaded crosswise. The spacious, 2.52m² cargo box features some impressive dimensions – such as the 508 mm high side panels and the low loading sill height of 780 mm.
The Amarok is the only pickup in its class with an 8-speed automatic gearbox. While first gear has been specially optimised for pulling off when towing a trailer, eighth gear reduces fuel consumption through low-speed driving on long journeys. Equally unique: the option to combine the gearbox with the permanent 4MOTION all-wheel drive.
The Amarok is the only pick-up in its class to come with an Automatic Post-Collision Braking System, 17-inch disc brakes at the front and 16-inch disc brakes in the rear as standard. What’s more, the trailer stabilisation system provides the best possible protection against snaking trailers.
Make bumps and scuffs when parking a thing of the past with Park Assist. It emits an audible warning when obstacles are detected in front of or behind the vehicle, and also provides a visual display of the vehicle’s distance from the obstacles.
The Rear View reversing camera shows you a limited view of the area behind the vehicle on the display of the radio or navigation system. It also displays static guidelines, helping to make parking even simpler.
If all these features are still not enough, it is our pleasure to announce that all Volkswagen vehicles are built with “Euro 5” compliancy and are friendly towards our environment and human health as well. This means, every time you drive a Volkswagen, you are helping our fragile environment by reducing the global carbon footprint and also preventing the spread of diseases caused by vehicle emissions.
So what are you waiting for? Test drive the Amarok at your nearest Autohaus Fiji branch.
