No matter where or when, the new Amarok, equipped with its various modern driving assistance systems offers more support than any of its predecessors.

Its premium character is underlined by features such as ambient lighting and a top-end sound system from Harman Kardon.

As an outdoor companion, it stands out with improved off-road capability and optional V6 power.

For those looking for a robust and reliable commercial vehicle, its broad variety of new features, such as the 3.5t trailer coupling for all automatic transmissions and other convenient details, are ready for any challenges. Whatever the requirements may be: The new Amarok meets them effortlessly.

Practical

The new Amarok comes with a cargo bed-load of remarkable highlights, such as modern “IQ.Light” LED matrix headlights, optional wheels up to 21” in size, completely new exterior styling packages with newly designed styling bars and steps.

The radiator grille, which – depending on the version – merges into a horizontal division of the front section or into an X-shaped design, in the top trim levels, is another eye catcher.

Speaking of highlights, the loading area between the wheel arches offers enough space for a Euro pallet to be loaded crosswise and lashed in place thanks to the sturdy eyelets.

Another new feature is the roof load capacity of 350kg. Never before has it been possible to pitch a tent on a nicer surface!

Design features of the new Amarok:

• new radiator grille

• “IQ.Light” LED matrix headlights1, and LED taillights4,

• wheels 16”/17”/18”/20”/ 21”2, all-terrain tires up to 18”

• embossed Amarok lettering on the tailgate

Longer wheelbase

The new Amarok is 5,350mm long –96mm longer than its predecessor. A wheelbase of 3,270mm corresponds to an increase of 173mm - which means there is more space in the crew cab.

Since the wheelbase grows more than its overall length, the body overhangs are reduced. This adds to an increased slope angle and a better off-road capability.

An adaptable transmission

The new Amarok has the right answer for almost every driving situation. It also has the right transmission for almost every drive preference: from rear-wheel drive to selectable and permanent all-wheel drive. Three different diesels with four to six cylinders and 2.0 to 3.0 litres of displacement ensure the right strength development.

More driving modes, more driving comfort

The preconfigured driving modes are new and come in many variations to support drivers in special off-road situations in several stages. More than 25 assistance systems, over 20 of which are completely new on-board the Amarok, provide additional driving comfort on request.

Master of versatility – the new Amarok Reliability and versatility for almost any business? The new Amarok has it in its genes and is proud to show it, with the “AMAROK” lettering embossed across the entire width of the loadbay flap. With a broad variety of new features, it is more usable every day, making it a versatile and reliable commercial vehicle.
