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. Back-to-back tests against class rivals and
assessments of running costs, practicality and equipment levels were all
factored into the expert What Car? verdict. Whatever your cargo,
wherever you go, you can count on the Amarok to deliver.
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.
45° climbing ability. 50° 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.
Reinforced leaf springs
Because hard work deserves a comfortable ride
With 3+2 leaf springs as standard, you can rest assured that
you'll have a comfortable ride even with payloads of up to 1,154kg.
Off-road, Hill Descent Assist and underride guard
Take the rough with the smooth
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.
4MOTION all-wheel drive
Unique drive technology
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.
Load platform and load compartment
The widest load platform in its class
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.
8-speed automatic gearbox
Highly efficient
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.
6-speed manual gearbox
On Trendline models
The Amarok Trendline is now available with a 6-speed manual
gearbox in combination with the 163PS and the 204PS engines. The new
model features standard rear-wheel drive and comes with a selectable
all-wheel drive which activates at the touch of a button.
