ombining innovative technology and intelligent design features, the CAmarok sets new standards in the pick-up sector. Continuing Volkswagen’s established history in the 4x4 and pick-up markets, the Amarok introduces advanced fuel-saving technology and a host of exciting technologies designed to reduce running costs and improve the productivity of all users.

New to the Volkswagen family The Amarok is a key model in Volkswagen UK’s commercial vehicle line-up, and marks a welcome return to the pick-up sector to the brand. Named after the Inuit word for Wolf, the Amarok was developed

5 Overview

Overview (continued) It adds lower emissions (from 205g/km) and superior fuel consumption (up to 36.2 mpg on the combined cycle).

Strong and capable The Amarok’s braked trailer weight towing limit is 3,200 kg. Unladen weights range from 2,025 to 2,108 kg (depending on model), with a 5,550 to 5,950 kg gross train weight. The exterior shares design cues with the Caddy and Transporter, as well as Volkswagen passenger cars such as the Polo and Golf. Horizontal lines dominate the grille area and the Volkswagen badge is prominent. Three trims are available: Startline, Trendline and Highline. The Amarok was Volkswagen’s official support vehicle at the 2010 Dakar rally, and won the inaugural International Pick-up Award, awarded by the Van of the Year jury.

18 Hill Hold Assist This clever system prevents the vehicle rolling backwards by utilising a slippage sensor integrated into the ESP control device which recognises when the vehicle stops and maintains the braking pressure, even after the brake pedal is released by metering its release as the accelerator is applied.

Hill Descent Control Hill Descent Control automatically operates at speeds below 30 km/h (18 mph) when the vehicle’s off-road ABS is being used, and controls the braking to prevent unintentional acceleration on extreme descents.

The Amarok also features an emergency braking hazard warning lights function. This works by flashing the brake lights rapidly if it detects any heavy braking when the vehicle is travelling at speeds over 37 mph. The system then automatically activates the hazard warning lights to warn other traffic if the vehicle stops.
