Amarok Whichever Way You Want It

Amarok Whichever Way You Want It

Date: 2015-10-09
The Amarok Double Cab has revolutionised the local 1-tonne bakkie market since its introduction in September 2010. One of the innovative technologies that Amarok introduced into the local bakkie segment was the 8-speed automatic transmission in January 2013. Until now, this popular derivative was only available with a permanent four-wheel drive system.

Customers can now order the Amarok Double Cab Automatic with a rear-wheel drive system. The 4x2 derivative has a combined fuel consumption of 8.2 litres per 100 km and CO2 emissions of 216 g/km. The 2.0 litre BiTDI has a maximum torque of 420 Newton metres that is available at 1750rpm.The top speed of 180 km/h is reached in 7th gear. It only takes 10.6 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h.

The additional gears make it possible to achieve a wider gear ratio spread between the 1st and 8th gears compared to a conventional automatic transmission. As a result, the 132kW 2.0 litre BiTDI engine works more frequently in its optimal torque band. The 8th gear has been configured as a fuel saving overdrive gear that operates at reduced engine speed.

Customers can also order the Amarok as a single cab in two-wheel drive or 4Motion with engine capacities from 103 Kilowatts up to the 132 Kilowatt mark.

With the ease of use and incredible load box dimensions, the Amarok really turns on the charm when you get inside. Comfort and safety have been intricately woven into a sophisticated union that will allow you to take the Amarok to the market on Saturday and to your Mother In Law's house for lunch on Sunday.

The Amarok Double Cab Automatic is offered with the top of the range equipment line, Highline. Its standard safety and convenient features include ESP with brake assist and Hill Start/Hill Descent assist, ABS including off-road ABS, driver and front passenger airbag, daytime running lights, park distance control (rear), 17-inch alloy wheels, Radio/CD (MP3 capable) with 6 speakers, Climatronic 2-zone air conditioning system, electrically foldable mirrors, storage drawers under front seats, cruise control and 12-volt socket in centre console, dashboard and load box.

Customers can order optional functional features such as park distance control (front), alloy wheels (18 and 19-inch) and Vienna leather seats to individualise their Amarok Double Cab Automatics.

For more information and a chance to test drive the new Amarok, contact McCarthy Volkswagen Umhlanga on 031 566 9700 or visit their showroom at 6 - 8 Sunset Crescent, Umhlanga Ridge and their friendly sales staff will gladly go though all the options this amazing Amarok can offer you.
