About the Volkswagen Amarok Mk2
The second-generation Volkswagen Amarok represents a major shift for the nameplate, developed as part of a strategic alliance with Ford and sharing its T6.2 platform with the Ranger. While the underpinnings are shared, Volkswagen has applied a distinct design language and a more premium interior to position the Amarok at the top of the lifestyle pick-up segment. The 3.0-litre V6 TDI engine provides effortless torque, making it a highly capable tow vehicle and a refined motorway cruiser. It retains the original's reputation for car-like handling while significantly improving off-road geometry and wading depth.
