The 2012 Volkswagen Amarok completely revolutionized the modern utility market, introducing European refinement, exceptional build quality, and car-like handling to the rugged commercial truck class. Unlike traditional utes that can feel bouncy and agricultural on the road, the Amarok features a wider track and a brilliantly engineered chassis that delivers a quiet, solid, and incredibly stable ride.
KEY FEATURES
2.0L TDI 340 Diesel Engine: A highly efficient, direct-injection turbo diesel engine delivering 90kW of power and a strong 340Nm of low-down torque from low revs.
6-Speed Manual Transmission: A precise, easy-shifting commercial gearbox with a low first gear for heavy hauling and a tall sixth gear for quiet, economical open-road cruising.
2WD Mechanical Efficiency: Strips away unnecessary weight for a sharper, more responsive feel around town, better fuel economy, and lower ongoing servicing bills.
Massive Cargo Tray Space: Features a class-leading, extra-wide wellside deck that easily fits a standard full-sized pallet between the wheel arches, making loading incredibly simple.
Premium European Cabin Comfort: Offers a spacious 5-seater double cab layout with exceptionally supportive seats, high-quality materials, and class-leading rear legroom.
Crisp Power Steering and Agility: Features an advanced steering rack and a wide stance, making this large utility surprisingly easy to maneuver through tight city streets or park at the local merchant.
Factory Climate Control: High-output air conditioning designed to keep the entire cabin perfectly cool in the summer and warm on crisp winter mornings.
Electric Windows and Mirrors: Full convenience right at the driver's fingertips for effortless adjustments while on the move.
Robust Safety Engineering: Built on a heavy-duty ladder-frame chassis and equipped with essential driver protection including anti-lock brakes (ABS), traction control, and front airbags.
Great Open-Road Visibility: A high, commanding driving position paired with large side mirrors, making it exceptionally easy to judge traffic and tow with total confidence.
