Volkswagen unveils larger and more advanced new Amarok - what do you think of the updated looks?
“For the new generation, we've significantly modified the Amarok’s design. It's now more expressive,” said Albert Kirzinger, head of design at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles in Hanover, Germany.
The load bay offers an increased payload of up to 1160kg. It can be secured with an electrically operated roll cover, similar to that offered on the Ranger Wildtrak and operated either from the cargo box itself, inside or alternatively by a remote means via the keyfob. Volkswagen says the load bay can accommodate a Euro pallet sideways between the rear wheel arches. New eye rings, each capable of handling up to 500kg of load, are also included.
Launch models are planned to receive 18in wheels as standard, although buyers will be able to specify optional wheels of up to 21in in diameter. The infotainment functions are controlled by Ford's Sync4 operating system but with Volkswagen-specific graphics, while the manual handbrake of the old model is replaced by a new electric hand brake function.
A turbocharged 2.3-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with 298bhp will also figure from the start of UK sales later this year.
