Venture with Volkswagen Amarok: the reliable companion for life's adventurous journeys
Volkswagen Amarok: A Premium Ute with Rugged Capability and Sophistication
The Volkswagen Amarok, a one-tonne segment contender, positions itself as a more premium option, blending rugged capability with sophistication. This versatile ute has caught the attention of New Zealand motorsport legend, Greg Murphy, who has been a long-time driver of the Amarok.
The Amarok's cabin boasts a unique architecture, featuring subtle design cues familiar to Volkswagen (VW) owners. The interior exudes an attractive black and brown trim combination, complemented by a 12-inch infotainment touchscreen, keyless entry and start, embedded satellite navigation, IQ.Light LED Matrix headlights, and up to six different driving modes.
Under the hood, the Amarok offers a choice of engines. The Amarok PanAmericana and Amarok Aventura are equipped with a powerful 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 engine, generating 184kW of power and 600Nm of torque. On the other hand, the Amarok Style comes with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder bi-turbo diesel engine, producing 154kW of power and 500Nm of torque.
For those who require heavy-duty towing, the Amarok's V6 engine is a strong and capable choice. Greg Murphy, a regular user of large trailers, appreciates the ease of towing heavy weights with his Amarok PanAmericana. The Amarok also features a Trailer Mode that adjusts transmission shift points, blind spot sensors, and driver assists to accommodate trailers, a feature that Murphy finds particularly useful.
The Amarok Aventura is designed for on-road use, with tarmac-oriented tyres and car-like design details. For those seeking an extra touch of luxury, the Aventura offers an optional 'Premium Package' including 21-inch alloy wheels and a powered roller lid.
The Volkswagen Amarok now includes a service plan that adds great value and assurance for buyers. Each service includes a comprehensive 30-point safety inspection, a diagnostic and software check, and the use of genuine Volkswagen parts with a two-year warranty. The range now also includes 3 scheduled services across the entire Volkswagen range.
Greg Murphy, who is also the current owner of the Amarok PanAmericana he uses daily, never gets sick of driving his Amarok. He appreciates its comfort and capability, making it not just a workhorse, but also a daily driver. The Amarok offers a blend of rugged capability and sophistication, making it a standout choice in the one-tonne segment.
