POr the rhythm of life and the daily routine that makes "years of work", as many of us say, is a surprise that Amarok, Volkswagen's first pick-up, is already on the market for eight years. To celebrate this trajectory and to revise its history and features, the German brand has organized #AmarokDay in Cardales, with the presence of key executives and press media, at Estancia at Pebeta.
His name caught his attention when he was launched in 2010 and refers to the Arctic wolf in the language of Eschimo, and also takes advantage of an association or play with words with the company's parent company, headquartered in Wolfsburg, whose the name is translated into the "wolf's house".
Amarok's curiosities are of particular importance to our country because it is produced in General Pacheco and, together with the Hanover plant, are the only industrial centers where it is produced globally.
With a more comfort-oriented design, but without neglecting its origin as a commercial vehicle, it was originally presented with two 2.0-liter turbo 122 hp and 180 hp twin-turbo six-speed manual gearbox. Starting in 2012, the automatic option has been added with an eight-speed ZF box and added more power in the most affordable versions, ranging from 122 to 180 hp. In the same year, the "Expert Amarok" program began with a special training for business and customer advisors, which was carried out throughout the country.
In 2014, automatic options were extended to 4 × 2 versions, and the special Dark Label series, known for its completely black aesthetics, was launched. A year later, he added more equipment – with bi-xenon headlamps, electrically folding mirrors and new tire design – along with the presentation of another special series called Ultimate.
For the 2016, the pickup received the first major upgrade, in which its design was partially renewed – especially in the interior – incorporating more comfort, safety and technological equipment, and the arrival of the V6 was announced. Exactly in June 2017, two of these variants with a different aesthetics appeared and the 3.0 liter V6 TDI engine developing 224 hp (which can be raised to 244 hp by the Overboost function) and 550 Nm, coupled to the 8-speed transmission automatic and 4Motion permanent all-wheel drive.
Finally, the latest addition to the range was the V6 Comfortline version, which maintains the mechanics of the top variants, but with intermediate equipment and greater orientation as a tool. Another fact: these eight years have already produced more than half a million Amarok and by 2019 more new features are planned, including the expected V6 versions associated with a 6-speed manual gearbox.
In this way, the pick-up currently has a total of 14 versions and three levels of equipment:
