Specifications for 2023 Volkswagen Amarok has been released for Australia ahead of the arrival of local showrooms early next year.
Volkswagen dealers have today received detailed specification charts to help customers order the new Amarok well ahead of launch.
Customer orders placed today for the Volkswagen Amarok 2023 in Australia will be “pending pricing and a test drive”, meaning buyers can back out of the deal if needed.
“Since the Amarok was announced globally four weeks ago, Volkswagen dealerships have been inundated with inquiries and customers looking to place a deposit,” Volkswagen Australia Commercial Vehicles Director Ryan Davies said in a media statement.
Many Ford Ranger customers are also considering the Volkswagen Amarok 2023 – considering the two vehicles are twins under the skin and share the same mechanics and capabilities, but have different designs and certain unique features.
The second-generation Volkswagen Amarok was co-developed with Ford – and built on the Ford Ranger production line in South Africa. Ford Rangers for Australia were imported from Thailand.
Given the long delays that have been reported for the new generation Ford Ranger, some customers in the queue are considering switching to the new Volkswagen Amarok.
Information shared with Volkswagen dealers in Australia today – and confirmed by the company as accurate – suggests there will initially be five class models.
The new models are listed as Amarok, Life, Style, PanAmerica, and Aventura.
There are four engine options: single-turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel (125kW/405Nm), twin-turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel (154kW/500Nm), single-turbo 3.0-liter V6 diesel (184kW/600Nm), and 2.3 liter single-turbo four-cylinder petrol (222kW/452Nm).
The 2.0-liter single-turbo diesel engine is available with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.
The twin-turbo 2.0-liter diesel and the single-turbo 3.0-liter V6 diesel are available with a 10-speed automatic transmission, but the four-cylinder has part-time four-wheel drive hardware, while the V6 has four full-time wheels. -wheel drive hardware.
The single-turbo 2.3 liter petrol is powered by a permanent and 10-speed automatic four-wheel drive hardware.
All transmission options now have a low-range mode, which was not present on the original Volkswagen Amarok.
There are six driving modes: Normal, Eco, Slippery, Snow/Sand, Mud/Rut, Tow/Haul.
One manual transmission variant will be available in the base Amarok class, while the Ford Ranger lineup is now automatic only.
The four-cylinder diesel engine is available in three base grades (Amarok, Life and Style), while the V6 diesel is available in the highest three grades (Style, PanAmerica and Aventura).
The single-turbo 2.3-liter four-cylinder petrol engine is only available on the flagship Aventura.
Most variants of the Volkswagen Amarok 2023 range come with a full suite of safety systems – including center airbags and collision avoidance systems – marking a pole vault in technology compared to the original Volkswagen Amarok.
However, it is striking by its absence: blind zone warning and rear traffic warning are not available on the cheapest Volkswagen Amarok – although this technology is standard on even the cheapest Isuzu D-Max, Mazda BT-50 and Ford Ranger cars.
And in the information shared so far, the back-traffic warning is not listed. We will update this story once we can clarify which models – if any – will have this useful technology.
The absence of key safety technology on even the most basic Amarok is an unusual oversight considering Volkswagen seems to be taking a premium position compared to the latest Ford Ranger; for example all models have LED headlights, whereas Ford sticks with halogen headlights on its workhorse variant.
Australian price for 2023 Volkswagen Amarok expected to be announced later this year – ahead of showroom arrivals early next year – but the details listed here will help customers order and compare features across competitors, including the new generation Ford Ranger.
