VOLKSWAGEN Commercial Vehicles is raising the bar, with its premium pick-up, the Amarok, set to gain a bigger ‘heart’ and enhance its performance potential, thanks to the latest generation of Volkswagen V6 engines.
Drivers of the Amarok can look forward in future to an additional litre of displacement offered by the 3.0-litre engine, while the pick-up will continue to boast impressive on- as well as off-road capability.
Its new engine will deliver 550 Nm of torque and has an output of 224 PS.
Robust and reliable: the new agile V6 diesel engine for the Amarok meets the customer requirement for high torque at low engine speeds.
The powerful top-of-the-line sixcylinder engine produces its maximum torque at only 1,500 rpm.
At 550 Nm, this maximum torque is also 130 Nm higher than in the previous model.
