The latest stage of the drip-fed Volkswagen Amarok teaser campaign focuses on the rear end, equipped with bold lettering and a V6 badge. The full reveal is due next month.


The latest teaser focuses on the Amarok’s rear end, showcasing its tailgate, embossed with large ‘AMAROK’ text, and wearing V6 and 4Motion badges – pointing to flagship models’ 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 and full-time four-wheel-drive system.

While Volkswagen says the new ute will be able to carry up to 1.2 tonnes in its tray, this figure is most likely in reference to the single-cab variants offered in overseas markets, rather than Australia’s dual-cab variants.



In line with the broader ute class, 3.5-tonne braked towing capability will be available.

Buyers overseas will be presented a choice of 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder or 3.0-litre single-turbo V6 diesel engines sourced from Ford, with rear-wheel drive, part-time four-wheel drive or full-time four-wheel drive.



Tech and style highlights will include matrix LED headlights, available 21-inch alloy wheels, standard LED tail-lights, widescreen infotainment and instrument displays, electric front seats, and a full suite of active safety technology.

Five model variants will be offered overseas: the base ‘Amarok’, mid-spec Life and Style, and two flagships: the on-road-oriented Aventura, and the off-road-focused Panamericana.
