Introducing the Amarok V6

Turn heads on the street or turn it loose in the bush with the best ute around. The powerful V6 engine and the legendary stability of the ladder frame chassis make for a ute that’s more than capable of tackling even the toughest terrain. Add to that 4MOTION 4X4 with optional rear differential lock, and it’s no wonder the Amarok is one of the best in the business.

Features & Design

Performance

Powerful performance, with the highest torque in its class

No matter where your work might be or how you like to spend your spare time - the engine in your Amarok V6 always makes sure every adventure on any terrain is no challenge.

  • 190 kW 6-cylinder turbo diesel engine
  • 3.0L capacity
  • Torque up to 580 Nm
  • Temporary boost of up to 10 kW thanks to the overboost function
  • 8-speed automatic gearbox
  • Cruise control system

4MOTION and off-road mode

Four for the win

Permanent 4MOTION all-wheel drive

Even under extreme conditions, the Amarok turns every journey into an experience. That's because its chassis and drive system have been perfectly tuned – and combined with the tried-and-tested 4MOTION all-wheel drive.

The intelligent ‘off-road’ button sets up the vehicle for off-road driving with functions including Hill Descent Control, and recalibrated ABS settings that improve performance on dirt, and reduce the stopping distance on loose surfaces.

Bold Exterior Design

A pure expression of power

The Amarok shares your mindset completely: It has a clear message – including its design statement. High strength steel throughout the chassis and body provides a robust platform, while hi-tech features such as bi-xenon headlights including LED daytime running lights and masculine, dynamic lines make it turn heads wherever you go.

Modern interior design

Tough on the outside. Comfortable on the inside.

Even when the terrain gets tough, the Amarok can counteract each bump with an extra dose of comfort. Its clear dash panel, countless storage compartments, spacious legroom and adjustable seats in the front add a touch of comfort to your off-road adventure.

Wide load platform

Put a load on. Take a load off.

The Amarok can handle bulky cargo with ease. That’s because it has more space between its wheels. You can even load Euro pallets on crosswise thanks to its load-through width.

  • Load-through width of 1,222 mm
  • 2.52 m² cargo box
  • 508 mm tall dropside
  • Lower loading sill height of 780 mm

Driving Experience

Offroad ABS

A short tap on the brakes. A shorter braking distance.

Once activated, the wheels lock briefly when braking on loose surfaces, thereby essentially creating a wedge of material under the wheel and significantly reducing the braking distance. This noticeably increases the driving safety.

Hill Descent Assist

Walking speed Activated automatically.

When off-roading, Hill Descent Assist lets you drive down slopes in a safe, controlled manner thanks to the engine management’s ability to regulate the engine. The vehicle’s speed is maintained at a constant pace.

Ramp angle

Inclined towards a top performance

The Amarok’s increased ground clearance means it can handle even extreme angles, gradients and slopes.

Thanks to its increased clearance and depending on the loading condition, the Amarok can climb ramps with an angle of 15.6° to 20.1°.

Slope angle and wading depth

Inclined towards a top performance

The Amarok’s increased ground clearance means it can handle even extreme angles, gradients and slopes.

The Amarok boasts a maximum slope angle of 29.5° at the front and 18.0° at the rear. It can handle pools with a wading depth of up to 500 mm.

Lateral slope angle

Masters any situation

An off-road performance of the highest standard: The wide wheelbase ensures an incredible level of stability, even when driving on slopes with a 50° incline.

Storage areas

Plenty of space

From coffee cups and work gloves through to a water bottle: the Amarok’s interior has plenty of storage space for everything that you need for both work and play. This includes a storage compartment on the dash panel, spacious storage areas under the front seats and four cup holders.

Comfort

Almost too beautiful to be there

You have reached your destination. However, you could simply stay seated in the Amarok’s comfortable interior. After all, it offers the most spacious legroom in its class. And though the seats may be higher than in a sports utility vehicle – they are just as comfortable. What's more, the ergoComfort front seats can be carefully adjusted to your needs at the touch of a button. And you may not even want to get out at all.

Media Systems

Hardwired for connection

Navigation has never been easier thanks to the optional Discover Media package, with a 6.5” colour display with touchscreen, 2D and 3D (bird's eye) map views, CD player with auxillary input and two SD card slots for navigation and media. Only available on Highline and Ultimate models.

The Composition Media system boasts a crystal clear 6.33” colour touch screen, packed with the latest multimedia functions, including App-Connect2 and Bluetooth®. For added convenience the telephone functions can be voice activated. Available on all models.

Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and off-road ABS

In safe hands

ESP helps you stay in control of your vehicle by preventing understeer or oversteer. If your vehicle starts to skid, the Electronic Stabilisation Programme will apply the brakes to individual wheels and adjust the engine’s power output to correct the problem.

Off-road ABS reduces the stopping distance on loose surfaces at the press of a button. When this function is activated the braking interval is increased; the wheels lock up in a controlled manner so that material from the ground (such as gravel or sand) build up in front of each wheel, reducing the stopping distance.

Multi-Collision Brake

Safety as standard

The Multi-Collision Brake system3 applies the brakes to slow the vehicle to 10km/h when airbag sensors detect a collision, so that a secondary impact will be lessened or avoided. During braking, the hazard and brake lights are illuminated and remain activated. The driver can take over at any time.

Trailer Stabilisation

Steady the load

Trailer Stabilisation3 complements the electronic stabilisation program. If your trailer starts to fluctuate heavily, the system slows it down through controlled braking and reduced engine torque – steadying the trailer and increasing driving safety. Genuine Amarok wiring harness must be fitted.

Built for maximum driving pleasure

The Amarok can handle extreme angles, gradients and slopes, providing a comfortable drive on any terrain.

Interior

The Amarok’s interior boasts plenty of space to stow your belongings, including storage on the dashboard, large compartments under the front seats on the Sportline and Highline, and four cup holders. The ergoComfort 14-way electric seats, available in luxury Nappa leather appointed upholstery4, ensure a comfortable drive and safe journey.

Gradients

See the world at different angles

From steep slopes to rushing streams, the Amarok's got it covered. It handles 45° inclines, has a maximum slope angle of 29.5° at the front and 18.0° at the rear, and can handle pools with a wading depth of 500mm. The Amarok's broad wheelbase provides enormous stability, even when driving along slopes with a 50° incline*.
