At the top of the range, the much plusher PanAmericana and Aventura will add such luxuries as a bigger 12-inch display screen, Harman/Kardon audio systems, soft-touch cabin materials (described as "leather look" rather than leather), and even 21-inch alloy wheels. Even the most basic versions will have digital instruments, a 10-inch portrait-oriented touchscreen, LED headlights, and adaptive cruise control. ![]() Volkswagen will sell the Amarok in a wide variety of grades reflecting its use as both a utility and a lifestyle truck. It's seemingly Ford's 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder making 298 hp and 333 pound-feet, and again shipping with the 10-speed and permanent AWD. Volkswagen will also offer a gasoline engine in some markets, although non-diesel pickups are still a rarity in Europe. This makes 246 hp and 440 pound-feet of torque and gets the 10-speed auto and AWD as standard. That's a developed version of the one fitted to the previous-generation Amarok we drove in Europe in 2018. In other countries a slightly more powerful 203-hp version of this engine will get selectable four-wheel drive and the 10-speed gearbox.īeyond this, Volkswagen will continue to offer the option of its long-serving 3.0-liter V-6 diesel. Beyond that, a twin-turbocharged diesel will make 200 horsepower and drive though what Volkswagen says is a permanent all-wheel-drive system-although with the ability to disconnect drive to the front for improved economy-while working with either the six-speed auto or a 10-speed auto that is the Ford/GM gearbox. A basic rear-wheel-drive version combining a 147-hp 2.0-liter diesel engine and a five-speed manual gearbox will be offered in certain African markets, with a more powerful 167-hp version of the same engine being sold elsewhere with the choice of a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission, together with either rear-wheel drive or selectable four-wheel drive. Volkswagen is planning to offer a multitude of powertrain options. Volkswagen also says it can safely pass through up to 31.5 inches of water-the same figure claim Ford makes for the next Ranger. ![]() Shortened overhangs compared to the old Amarok have improved its ability to tackle a modest level of wilderness, with a 29-degree approach angle, 21-degree departure angle, and 21 degree ramp-over angle. It should be pretty decent off-road, too. Volkswagen says it will be able to carry up to 2550 pounds, depending on specification, and to tow up to 7700 pounds. Maximum width between wheel arches is 47.5 inches. ![]() Both single- and double-cab versions will be offered, with the two-door having a cargo bed 90.7 inches long and the four-door having a 60.8-inch bed. The new truck's 128.7-inch wheelbase is, unsurprisingly, identical to that of the Ford. Overall length of 210.6 inches is 3.8 inches longer than the old Amarok but 0.8 inch shorter than the 2023 Ford Ranger. So what are we missing out on? Although larger than its predecessor, the new Amarok would be regarded as a mid-size pickup if it were to reach the U.S.
