Was the German pickup for the time being only available with vierpitters, now there is also V6-dieselpowerrrr.

Facelift sounds more radical than it is, because you have two times look to see the new Amarok. Largest differences we find to the front where the bumper some more angular and aggressive appearance than before. The grille and lights retain their shape, although the inside of the light clusters a more contemporary design. On the back we can see barely a difference. The taillights are the same units, but with slightly darker glass. A little trick that Volkswagen since the Golf II apply. In terms of sheet metal changed nothing.

Under the hood the changes are more serious. First of all, there is a new topmotorisering. Was that previously a 2.0 TDI-sjoemeldiesel with 180 hp, you can now have a 224 hp 3.0 V6 TDI in the Amarok. Incidentally, it is the same block also with 163 and 204 hp, which he therefore also the oveirge tweeliters will be replaced. Downsize, wa’s da?

Furthermore, there is now an eight speed DSG optional. If you choose a DSG with 4Motion, then you get permanent all-wheel drive and a Torsen differential, while the manual 4Motion drive on the rear wheels of your choice to enable it. The new Amarok is in the fourth quarter of this year, at the dealers.
