The Amarok Range

2  –  The Amarok 3  –  The Amarok3  –  The Amarok

Cross-Country Mobility Selectable 4Motion All-Wheel DriveTough assignments call for efficient power management.

Which is exactly what the Amarok delivers. With optional

4Motion high/low all-wheel drive, the Amarok is able to

distribute driving force equally across the front and rear axles.

Additionally the Amarok’s heavy-duty leaf springs provide a high

level of safety for a payload of up to one tonne, as well as enabling

it to master rough terrain effortlessly. All it takes to experience

traction on rugged surfaces is the push of a button.

Permanent 4Motion All-Wheel DriveAvailable only in conjunction with the optional 8 speed

automatic transmission, the Amarok with permanent 4Motion

all-wheel drive combines the advantages of improved driving

dynamics on paved roads with excellent off-road capabilities

and unrivalled fuel economy. First gear is optimised for off-road

use and pulling away when towing a trailer, while the higher

gears are designed for fuel efficient driving at lower revs.

4x2 Rear-Wheel DriveThe Amarok is equipped with rear-wheel drive as standard,

perfect for the uses for which it was designed. The rear-wheel

drive format enables steering that is not influenced by the

engine torque, resulting in a smaller steering radius. And

because a vehicle’s weight is transferred to the back during

acceleration, the Amarok’s default rear-wheel drive ensures

optimal road contact.

Safety & Comfort Safety FeaturesThe Amarok is built to handle even the toughest terrain,

and it does so comfortably thanks to its numerous safety

and driver assistance systems. Its next-generation Electronic

Stabilisation Program (ESP) with hill-start and hill-descent

assist sets a whole new standard. The off-road ABS ensures

controlled locking of the wheels, substantially reducing the

stopping distance without compromising manoeuvrability.

With features like dual front airbags plus front head/thorax

side airbags with head protection, Electronic Differential

Lock (EDL) and optional Rear Differential Lock (RDL),

every effort is made to ensure you’re safe in the Amarok –

on or off the road.

Driver & Passenger ComfortHowever tough a work assignment may be, nothing will

shake you in the Amarok. Its well appointed interior has

a comfort level more attuned to a passenger vehicle.

The premium look and feel of the dashboard, height-

adjustable front seats, optional leather upholstery, clever

stowage facilities and ample head and leg room in the front

and rear passenger seats are all features that ensure the

tough new Amarok is only tough on the outside.

ANCAP rating applies to Amarok Double Cab only.

Performance & Capability

7  –  The Amarok

The Amarok doesn’t just have a lot of character from the

outside, there is plenty of personality under the engine

compartment lid too. You have the choice of a particularly

fuel efficient 2.0 litre TDI diesel engine providing 340Nm* of

torque, while the powerful 2.0 litre Twin Turbo TDI engine

delivers up to 420Nm* of torque – each equipped with

common rail technology for greater running smoothness

and optimal efficiency. Both versions have a 6-speed manual

gearbox as standard, while the Twin Turbo engine can be

combined with the innovative 8-speed automatic gearbox

upon demand.

Approach and departure angle

and wading depth. The Amarok

can brave steep hills as well

as deep puddles. It has an

impressive approach angle of 28°

and a departure angle of 23.6°

(28° without bumper) as well as a

wading depth of up to 500mm.

Ramp angle. The Amarok can

bring you over sticks and stones

safely, and over significantly

bigger things too. With a ramp

angle of 23°, even large obstacles

such as tree trunks and rocks are

no longer a problem.

Side slope angle. The Amarok

has an affinity for extremes and

can even handle roads with a

lateral tilt of approximately 50°.

Hill-climbing ability. One

thing the Amarok doesn’t do

is complain. A trailer load of

3 tonnes is no problem at

a 12% incline. With a payload

of one tonne, it can conquer

hills with a 100% (45°) incline.

MODEL RANGE

Why should work always come before comfort?

With the Amarok Double Cab, you’ll be able to carry enough

of everything you need and comfortably seat up to five people.

And that doesn’t mean work takes a back seat – a full sheet of

standard ply can be loaded crosswise on the load area – the

broadest in its category. And in case of rain, you can safely

store your work gear in the Double Cab, because the cinema-

style rear seating can be divided 1/3 to 2/3 and folded up

in part or entirely.

The Amarok offers that little bit extra at all times. Its generously

laid out leg and head room remains unequalled in this

category. As well as that, your tools and other handy bits and

bobs will also find a home inside, with lots of practical storage

trays to keep everything in an orderly manner.

MP3- compatible CD player 16” Steel wheels

Ergonomic InteriorInside the cabin the ‘spacer cloth’

upholstered seats, the MP3-compatible

CD player, and the semi-automatic

‘climatic’ air conditioning system keep you

comfortable, while the driver and front

passenger airbags along with front head/

thorax side airbags ensure your safety.

Sleek ExteriorAt first glance you’ll be greeted by the

stylish body-coloured front bumper and

16" steel rims. But the equipment levels

aren’t just cosmetic. The black-grained

rear bumper features an integrated step

that is moulded to the rear of the vehicle,

optimising ground clearance.

PaintTo ensure that your Volkswagen is protected from mechanical and chemical effects, the chassis is initially prepared with

warm baths. Only then do we apply the paint in several coats, letting it harden. The result is a scratch-resistant, tough

upper layer. This lets it look as good as new, even in the toughest of environments.

UpholsteryHigh-quality, robust material and expert workmanship are paramount when it comes to the manufacture of durable seat

covers – and they are standard in every Volkswagen. Additionally, we offer you several colours and patterns that have been

carefully coordinated with the interiors and paintwork.
