Amarok-ing The World

Amarok-ing The World

Date: 2013-06-20
Amarok, where tough and smart come together. The Amarok unites cross-country mobility, flexibility and efficiency like no other pickup. Set on a robust ladder-frame chassis and encased in Volkswagen build quality, the Amarok is packed full of smart technology and design. The Amarok's powerful 2.0 litre TDI Biturbo engine sets new standards in terms of torque, fuel economy and CO2 emissions.

The shiftable and permanent 4Motion all-wheel drive systems along with driver assist features like off-road ABS and ESP provide it with traction and safe handling in all terrain types. Then there's its ability to shoulder the load - the large load bay dimensions allow the Amarok to accomodate a Euro pallet crosswise between its wheel arches. On tar, the Amarok also breaks new ground. With high quality interior, low noise levels and driving characteristics that leave nothing to be desired, it sets new standards in terms of comfort and ride dynamics.

Even the toughest challenges are easy assignments for the Amarok. It has been designed to consistently provide high resilience and functionality, with the broadest load area in its category. Passenger comfort is assured in the Amarok with individually adjustable driver and front passenger seats. Passengers seated in the back are also considered with generously laid out leg and head room. Practicality is further enhanced with lots of interior storage trays to provide ample space to store almost everything.

The Amarok Automatic is equipped with an innovative 8-speed automatic transmission paired with permanent 4Motion which translates into the perfect drive combination which means you get the best grip on all surfaces, so you can expect a safer, more controlled drive. And with a legal towing capacity of up to 3 tons (up a maximum 12% gradient) you can take what you want wherever it needs to go. The 132kW bi-turbo TDI engine achieves a maximum torque of 420Nm, with a top speed of 179 km/h reached in 7th gear.

Even more impressive is the Amarok Auto's efficiency. The eighth gear functions as a fuel-saving overdrive gear that operates at reduced engine speed, which results in class-leading combined fuel consumption of just 8.3 litres per 100 km making it one of the most fuel-efficient Automatic Double Cabs in its class.

For a chance to test drive the amazing new Amarok Automatic, contact McCarthy Volkswagen Umhlanga on 031 566 9700 or visit their showroom at 6 - 8 Sunset Crescent, Umhlanga Ridge.
