Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles announces UK pricing & specs for the new Amarok

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has announced the UK vehicle specifications and pricing for the new Amarok. The premium pick-up is available in a choice of four trims – Life, Style, PanAmericana and Aventura.

With a longer wheelbase and shorter overhangs, the new Amarok has both more room in the cab and improve the off-road ability. Add in new technology – including 30 driver assistance features and the second-generation Amarok is said to redefine the premium pick-up sector.

The entry-level trim, Amarok Life, focuses on Comfort, featuring 17” Combra silver alloy wheels, LED headlamps, a 10” infotainment screen and a key safety feature of a rear-view camera system.

The Amarok Style builds on the features of the Amarok Life, while adding greater design to the aesthetic, including 18” Amadora silver alloy wheels, a Chrome styling bar and black side steps with a chrome insert for a more premium feel. It also includes an upgraded 12” central infotainment screen with navigation, as well as additional safety features, such as Area View 360° camera.

The Amarok PanAmericana focuses on off-road ability. The driveline features a rear locking differential, underride guard, as well as the comfort suspension system. Upgraded 18” black Amadora alloy wheels, and the premium bumper with black ‘X’ insert add to the design enhancements.

The range-topping Amarok Aventura stands out for its design, with 21” Varberg silver alloy wheels, chrome-plated exterior mirror and door handles, and premium bumper with silver ‘X’ insert.

If you are a commercial user the Aventura model with a payload limit set at 877kg, or 842kg, when fitted with the towing pack probably isn’t for you. The highest payload is found with the entry-level Life model that has a limit of 1,113kg.

When it comes to towing, all except the 170hp Life model (that has a limit of 3,420kg), can tow 3.5 tonnes.

All new Amaroks will also come as standard with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ ‘the 5+ Promise’ which gives customers five years’ peace of mind with five services (three Oil Change, two Oil Change and Inspection plus three MOTs), a five year warranty (extended from the standard three year warranty) and five years’ roadside assistance (extended from standard three) (Ts and Cs apply – see www.volkswagen-vans.co.uk for details).   

The new Amarok officially goes on sale from 12 June 2023, with first deliveries from late summer 2023. More information on the new Amarok can be found here:
