The all-new Volkswagen Amarok has been teased with two sketches from the German manufacturer. The new model will be based on the recently revealed Ford Ranger but will possess a design that is in-line with its current language.
The new Volkswagen Amarok has a completely new appearance inside and out, but in future also has even more extensive equipment on board. “The Amarok makes possible what in many places appears impossible at first sight: it makes things easier for its users by assisting them in their work and everyday lives”, says Dr Lars Krause, Brand Board of Management Member for Sales and Marketing at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. “That’s because the Amarok provides solutions that enable our customers to achieve their goals –especially when things get difficult.”
Now in its third generation, the new vehicle has more driver assist systems and connectivity features. The Volkswagen Amarok, due in 2022, claims to features innovations that have not been seen before in this segment.
As the manufacturer’s Commercial Vehicles’ all-rounder, the new Volkswagen Amarok hopes to impress with its compelling lines and its overall appearance. “The striking front, and above all the defining design clearly distinguish the new Amarok and emphasise its claim to be leading the way”, confirms Albert-Johann Kirzinger, Head of Design at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. “We’ve given the strength and power of the new Amarok an unambiguous expression–with clear Volkswagen DNA, inside and out.” This hopes to show the confidence of the model, which has been penned to impress visually.
The Volkswagen Amarok has been in series production since 2010. The premium pick-up used to be made in Hannover and will continue to be built in Pacheco in Argentina. The newest version will also be built going forward in the South African city of Silverton. Over the last decade, more than 800 000 vehicles have been sold globally, solving challenges for their owners and drivers on many continents.
In the southern hemisphere the vehicle –the only one to date with V6-cylinder diesel engines as drive system to make a name for itself in pick-ups’ so-called B segment –is still going strong. In Europe it will again be possible to order the Amarok as a new vehicle from late 2022.
