Volkswagen Amarok

The Volkswagen Amarok is a more efficient addition to the pick-up market, with common rail diesel units that bring new levels of refinement to the sector and technical specifications that prove it is more efficient, yet just as powerful, as rivals that use larger capacity units.

Boasting the lowest CO2 emissions in the sector, the Volkswagen Amarok is the first pick-up to break the 200 g/km threshold. The 2.0-litre TDI 122PS engine available in Startline specification, produces 199g/km, while the 163 PS Bi-turbo model has a CO2 emissions figure of 209 g/km.

Fuel economy reaches up to 37.2 mpg, which gives the vehicle a theoretical range of over 650 miles. The outstanding green credentials don't dectract from performance though. The Amarok offers a huge amount of pulling power that is matched by an impressive towing weight of up to 2,800kg for the Highline model with permanent 4MOTION or 2,690kg for models with selectable 4MOTION.
