New 2023 Volkswagen Amarok - Mid-size Pickup Truck Off Road Drive

The new Amarok has been designed by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles to go wherever it needs to go. In Europe and many other parts of the world it therefore comes as standard with all-wheel rather than pure rear-wheel drive. Up to five efficient fourand six-cylinder turbo engines deliver the drive system power required for work and non-work tasks. The new Amarok is in addition being offered in five equipment versions. They are the ‘Amarok’, ‘Life’ and ‘Style’ lines, plus the top versions PanAmericana’ (off-road styling) and ‘Aventura’ (exclusive styling).

Dependent on the market, the engines being used for the new generation Amarok are up to four turbo diesel engines (TDI with four or six cylinders) and a turbocharged petrol engine (TSI with four cylinders). Qualities common to all five engines are efficiency and high levels of torque. On, for example...
