The pickup's active and passive safety systems and convenience features all match up to passenger car levels. Yet the Amarok is extremely rugged. The cleanly sculpted curvatures of the pickup's side body panels and engine hood give the Amarok the typical rugged look of a pickup. The pickup comes with a standard six speed transmission.Volkswagen Amarok customers can choose from three different driveline versions: permanent all-wheel drive, selectable four-wheel drive (both 4MOTION) and rear-wheel drive (4x2). The Volkswagen Amarok 4MOTION with a black "4" makes its appearance with permanent all-wheel drive and greater comfort. It exploits the advantages of all-wheel drive for superior vehicle dynamics on paved roads too. This all-wheel drive version will be available at market launch on all Euro-5 versions of the VW Amarok. Moreover, an optional mechanical rear differential lock is available for rugged
Volkswagen Amarok driving conditions.

Volkswagen Amarok Interior Design
The vehicle's finely tuned ergonomics are typical of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and the Amarok. Important: The truck bed of the Volkswagen Amarok Double Cab serves up the largest dimensions in its class as well. Also "Best in class" is the pickup's maximum load width of 1,222 mm between wheel wells.
The safety package of the Volkswagen Amarok sets new standards in its class. Numerous other features guarantee a high level of active safety as well. On all versions with trailer prep, ESP functionality includes the trailer stabilization system. The ABS system can reduce braking distance both off-road and on gravel road surfaces, often significantly depending on the road composition. On vehicles without ESP, "Off-Road Mode" comprises ASR and Off-Road ABS systems that are standard equipment here.
Engine specifications
The Amarok's twin-turbo 2.0-litre BiTDI engine delivers 163PS of power output and 400Nm of torque, making light work of heavy cargo and towing loads alike. Thanks to Volkswagen's common-rail TDI turbo-diesel technology, the Amarok's impressive pulling power doesn't compromise its great fuel efficiency and low CO2 emissions. With its low CO2 emissions, the Amarok is Euro V compliant.
