With this level of premium comfort, you won’t want your journey to end.
*Keyless access excludes Life variant
Exterior
A tough exterior
The new exterior design offers accentuated differences for each of the four equipment lines. From the different radiator grilles to the newly designed styling bars, sports bar and steps, the new Amarok leaves nothing to be desired.
Lighting
Robust lighting
The new Amarok is exclusively equipped with LED headlights. As a special highlight, the new Amarok Style, Amarok PanAmericana and Amarok Aventura have "IQ.Light" LED matrix headlights with dynamic headlight range. A fancy way of saying the road ahead just got a lot brighter.
Interior
More than enough room inside
Increased distance between the rows of seats offers plenty of room. Plus, look forward to more storage including an additional glove box, pockets on the backrests and more storage under the rear seats.
Infotainment
Just right. Digital Cockpit
Step into the stylish new Amarok interior with a modern, digitised cockpit, and get hands on with wireless mobile charging and the 12” vertical infotainment touchscreen. If that wasn’t easy enough, you can also control the infotainment system with your voice, thanks to the integrated voice control function.
Comfort
Sophisticated comfort
The new Amarok range impresses with a new level of comfort. The Amarok Style includes premium Art Velours upholstery, while the Amarok Aventura & Amarok PanAmericana are covered with premium leather and heated seats for extra comfort. The driver’s dashboard and door panels also impress with an elegant leather look. To top things off, ambient lighting sets the scene, starting all journeys on a lighter note.
*Ambient lighting excluded on Life variant
Sound system
Harman Kardon
Bring your favourite music and stations to life with a premium Harman Kardon sound system. With eight high-end speakers, a subwoofer and a full 640 watts of music power, every trip is one to remember.
A true master of all
With 3.5 tonne towing standard across the range, the Amarok is just as suited to hauling heavy loads as it is hitting the off-road tracks. Whether you’re towing the boat or the trailer, the Amarok makes difficult jobs look like child’s play.
Performance
Peak Performance
The all‑new Amarok puts the Ute in utility, proving just why this is the ultimate everyday workhorse. The new 10-speed shift-by-wire automatic transmission gives even more power on the road.
New torque strengths also stand out, with an impressive 2.0L 405Nm of torque for the Amarok Life (6-Speed only), a twin-turbo 2.0L 500Nm of torque for the Amarok Style, and a powerful 3.0L 600Nm of torque for the Amarok Pan Americana and Aventura range. Or for something different, a 2.0L 452Nm of torque for the Amarok Aventura petrol variant.
Whatever your choice, each brings a world of power to the playing field.
* 10-speed transmission not available on Amarok Life variant.
Cargo
Plenty of exterior space
The new Amarok design features an impressive loading area between the wheel arches to fit all sorts of loads, tools, equipment or material. And when items need strapping down, use the sturdy lashing rings for 400kg of pulling force to lock them in place.
Roof racks
A rooftop to be used
If the loading space wasn’t enough, 350kg of roof load capacity elevates the Amarok even further. Strap in the adventure gear, or simply pack on a rooftop tent for a night under the stars.
Towing
3.5 tonne braked towing capacity
With 3.5 tonne braked towing capacity and gross combined mass (GCM) of up to 6400kg, the All-New Amarok is up for any kind of adventure. And with an overhead towbar camera to make hitching your trailer easier.
With Trailer mode you can optimise the gearbox operation when towing heavy loads. In this mode, gears will shift up at higher than usual engine speeds to reduce shifting frequency, as well as enabling engine braking in all forward gears.
Register your trailers size in the driver assistance systems and your Amarok will acknowledge its presence behind you. Once registered your blind spot sensors and drive assists are adjusted to allow for the added dimensions at the rear.
