| Cultivated, powerful and efficient
The
new Volkswagen Amarok is set to join the the established Commercial
range of vehicles in NZ in late 2010, where the latest generation of
Volkswagen’s highly advanced, torque-strong yet fuel-saving common-rail
turbo-diesels (TDI) engines will be used. The new model combines the
robustness demanded of a Ute with innovative technology, high safety
standards and top values in fuel efficiency, comfort and ergonomics.
Conceptually and stylistically, the Amarok – up to 5.25 meter long – is a
Ute that looks like it came right out of the pages of a stylish
copybook. Its body, set upon a ladder frame, clearly reflects properties
of the new Volkswagen design DNA.

Robust TDI
engines with innovative technology
For the powertrain,
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has chosen a reliable, fuel-efficient and
clean high-tech turbo-diesel for the Ute’s launch. The 120 kW strong
2.0 TDI with common rail injection has two-stage bi-turbo turbo
charging, which generates a torque of 400 Newton-meters at an extremely
low 1,500 rpm. This engine is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
In addition to its agile responsiveness, the engine dazzles with its
extremely low fuel consumption values. Take the Amarok 4MOTION with
switchable high/low all-wheel drive as an example, where fuel
consumption is very economical at 7.8 litres/100km (206 g/km CO2).
Thanks to its 80-litre tank, the Ute is also capable of ranges of over
1,000 kilometres!

| From Ute worker to lifestyle Ute
Different
equipment lines are available on the Amarok; depending on your intended
application, the Amarok will be available in New Zealand in standard
‘worker’ spec as well as a high spec version for use as the lifestyle
vehicle. The exclusive high-end version Amarok will be equipped for
enhanced comfort. Its features will include part-chrome mirror housings,
various chrome accents outside and inside the vehicle and fender skirt
extensions in body colour that create space for (minimum) 17” alloy
wheels. In addition, this top equipment line will be characterised by a
colour contrasting instrument panel (depending on vehicle
configuration), automatic climate control (Climatronic), leather
detailing, Multi-Connect load securing system, a terrific sound system
and elegant fabric seat covering (optional leather).
