The 2024 Volkswagen Amarok sets a new standard in the pickup segment, combining the robustness of a commercial vehicle with the luxury of a premium class.
As the latest offering from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, we found the Amarok designed to excel on any terrain, whether in urban settings or off-road adventures. With its modern technology and unique design, this pickup is more than just a means of transportation; it’s a versatile tool that meets the challenges of everyday life with ease.
The Amarok’s design speaks volumes about its capabilities. It offers distinct design elements, such as different radiator grilles, styling bars, and sports bars. The vehicle’s off-road prowess is further highlighted by its enhanced body, running gear, and transmission versions, providing greater fording depth, higher ramp angles, and improved ground clearance.
The Amarok redefines versatility with its ability to tackle various tasks and terrains. Its load area is designed to accommodate a Euro pallet sideways, with sturdy rings for securing cargo. The ball coupling allows for a maximum trailer weight of up to 3.5 tons with all automatic gearboxes. Moreover, the new Amarok is equipped with over 25 assist systems, airbags, and comfort features, making it equally adept at transporting people and cargo.
The Amarok shines bright with its LED lighting technology. From the Amarok Style model upwards, both the headlights and tail light clusters are LED, with the option of “IQ.Light” LED matrix headlights for enhanced visibility. The vehicle also offers a range of wheels and tires, from 16-inch steel rims to 21-inch alloy wheels, catering to different preferences and requirements.
Inside, the Amarok provides ample space and comfort for five adults in the double cab, with more distance between the rows of seats. The seating options range from 6-way adjustable seats in the base model to 10-way power seats in the Amarok PanAmericana and Amarok Aventura. Additional storage areas and an elegant interior design enhance the overall driving experience.
The Amarok leads the way in digital innovation with its digital cockpit and large touch color display, controlling vehicle functions and the digital radio. The premium sound system from Harman Kardon, with eight high-end speakers and a subwoofer, ensures an immersive audio experience.
The new Amarok offers preconfigured driving profiles for different off-road situations and weather conditions. With over 25 assist systems, including Park Assist Plus and Area View, the Amarok provides unparalleled driving comfort and safety. The lane change system, with LED indicators in the exterior mirrors, adds an extra layer of convenience for urban and highway driving.
The 2024 Volkswagen Amarok is more than just a pickup; it’s a versatile companion that brings together the best of commercial utility and premium comfort. With its advanced features, sophisticated design, and off-road capabilities, the Amarok is set to redefine the standards of the pickup segment. Whether for work or leisure, the new Amarok is a vehicle that promises to deliver on all fronts, making every journey an adventure.
