The new Amarok: What you can expect from VW’s 2017 pick-up

Despite the relative unpopularity of pickup trucks in the UK market when compared to, say, our US counterparts, the selection of these vehicles available to British fleet managers and tradespeople is arguably better than ever – and they satisfy requirements that other types of transport simply can’t.

New models are now available for great trucks such as the Ford Ranger, Isuzu D-Max and Fiat Fullback, yet the brand-new Volkswagen Amarok is already turning heads. As the range of VW commercial vehicles continues to rake in awards, this pickup may only add to the haul of accolades; the 2017 Amarok has already been incredibly well received by critics. For example, the Guardian praised its practicality and off-road capabilities, while Car Magazine lauded its comfort, speed and space.

Yet general positives aside, what can you expect from VW’s latest entry in its popular line of pickups? Here, we break down the different options the Amarok comes with, so you too can create the truck that best meets your needs.

Engine

  • 3.0-litre V6 TDI (224PS) with BlueMotion Technology
  • 3.0-litre V6 TDI (204PS) with BlueMotion Technology
  • (Coming soon) A 161bhp diesel

Those drivers really needing power from their Amarok will be pleased to know that the 224PS variant of the 3.0-litre engine can activate an overboost function, which temporarily increases its performance to 245 PS, depending on the situation. A cheaper entry-level 161bhp engine is planned for later this year, according to Auto Express.
