VW’s new Amarok pursues premium pick-up buyers

FIRST sketches of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ new Amarok clearly show it’s going after the premium pick-up purchaser. VW promises that like previous versions, like the current Business Vans Best Pick-up, the newest Amarok will combine passenger car-like on-road manners with full off-road capability. A more athletic front and a modified instrument panel emphasise the powerful Amarok look and give the vehicle a more premium feel.

With a length of 5.25 metres and a width of 2.23 metres (mirrors included), the Amarok fulfils all that is expected of a classic pick-up in both style and concept. Striking features of the design and of the new commercial vehicles instrument panel feature prominent horizontal lines. Round contours give way to horizontal and vertical lines, giving a more striking appearance. More details will be published in due course. The model is expected to go on sale in the UK before the end of the year.
