VW Amarok Pictures and Video

Showcasing the cool VW Amarok pickup truck! The Amarok is scheduled to make it’s world debut on the 15th of December 2009 as looking at these pictures and video, it going to be a beauty.

 

 

 

Initially there will be a 2 liter 4 cylinder common rail diesel producing about 120kw and 400nm which will be the strongest unit available. Fuel consumption will be awesome as the predicted range on a 80 Liter tank will be almost 1000km! A second, less powerful diesel and a direct inject petrol engine will also be offered later.

 

 

 

 

Double cab versions as well as single cab versions will be offered, but no extended cab versions are on the cards. At least not for the launch. Three levels of specification will be offered – basic, trendline and highline but no word on pricing yet.
