Overview
The Volkswagen Amarok is a mid-size pickup truck produced by German automaker Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles since 2010. It was first presented in General Pacheco, Argentina, on January 7, 2010. The project began in 2005 with the intent to build a robust and off-road capable vehicle. The Amarok is available as single cab or double cab variants, with either rear-wheel drive or four-wheel-drive options (4Motion). It features turbocharged petrol engines and diesel engines, including a range of TDI units from Volkswagen's Transporter (T5) and later models include the 3.0L V6 TDI engine introduced in 2017.
