2017 Volkswagen Amarok V6 diesel interior unveiled

Volkswagen has actually revealed off the interior area for its upcoming V6 diesel-powered Amarok ute, with a clear intention of pushing the modest hay hauler upmarket.

Having verified a brand-new 165kW/550Nm 3.0-litre turbo diesel V6 model will land in Australia at year’s end, the German maker has splashed out on upgrading the double taxi’s cabin space.

There’s a distinctly SUV look to the Amarok, with the really newest high-definition infotainment system, much better plastics and, for some derivatives, a 14-way power Nappa leather-trimmed front seats.

Likewise made within the updated dashboard is a 3D colour screen between the dials.

The upgraded Amarok will be available with a reversing video camera, ‘park pilot’ parking assistance system, Bluetooth connectivity and as much as four 12-volt power supply sockets. Volkswagen’s automated post-collision braking system will also be fitted to updated models.

Identified in these images, for the very first time in an Amarok, are guiding wheel installed paddle shifters linked with the energy’s eight-speed automatic transmission.

The Amarok will supposedly have plenty of muscle to back up its new appearance, with the V6 engine bring a 3.5-tonne braked hauling capability and a capability to notch 100km/h in simply 7.9 seconds. This is regardless of a fuel claim near the present Amarok, at 7.6 L/100km on a European cycle.
