A Brief History of Amarok
The Volkswagen Amarok made its debut on the world stage in 2010, in the city of General Pacheco, Argentina. However, its development began much earlier, in 2002, when it was introduced to journalists around the world. In February 2005, it was finally revealed to the public, setting the stage for its arrival in Brazil in April 2010. Furthermore, it is worth highlighting that Brazil plays a significant role in the production of Amarok, being the manufacturing location for 60% of units sold worldwide, with the remaining 40% being divided between Spain, Volkswagen's home country, and other global markets.
During its time on the market, Amarok achieved international recognition and sales success. In 2016, it was ranked as the 17th best-selling pickup truck worldwide, with an impressive 67.685 units sold. From 2010 to 2022, the first generation Amarok recorded an impressive 830 units sold.
Amarok: Strength and Versatility
The Amarok range is known for its variety of options, including single cab and double cab, as well as rear-wheel drive and 4motion all-wheel drive. What makes the Amarok truly remarkable is the range of engines available, from turbocharged petrol units to powerful turbocharged diesel engines with direct injection.
In 2017, Volkswagen announced a major facelift for the Amarok, introducing a new engine that replaced the old 2.0L TDI. The highlight was the introduction of the 6L V3.0 TDI engine, available in three power configurations: 121 kW (162 hp), 150 kW (201 hp) and 167 kW (224 hp). The most powerful version boasted an impressive torque of 550 N⋅m and a 0 to 100 km/h time of just 8 seconds.
With these upgrades, Amarok has achieved even more remarkable performance and improved efficiency. The new V6 TDI offered up to 23% more power and 28% more torque compared to the previous 2.0L BiTDI engine, which was already considered a powerful option. Furthermore, reduced emissions and optimized fuel consumption made the Amarok even more attractive.
The New Generation: Amarok 2022
Finally, on July 7, 2022, the second-generation Amarok made its debut, designed and conceived in Germany and Australia. Manufacturing takes place in partnership with Ford, at the Silverton plant, South Africa. Therefore, this new generation shares the platform with the new Ford Ranger, as part of the 2019 VW-Ford global cooperation agreement.
The second generation Amarok is bigger and more spacious. With an increase of 96 mm in length and a wheelbase extended by 173 mm, the new Amarok offers more space in the second row of seats in the double cab. Off-road capability has also been improved, with a fording depth increased from 500mm to 800mm.
The second-generation Amarok model range offers five distinct variants, from the base version to more stylized models, such as the PanAmericana, inspired by off-road adventures, and the Aventura, focused on style for on-road use.
