Under the bonnet is a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel engine producing 125 kW and 405 N.m of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission, giving this version a top speed of 180 km/h. Fuel consumption is rated at 6.9 L/100 km, making it a fairly efficient option for everyday use.
Although it’s not a 4×4, the Amarok Life 4×2 still comes well-equipped for both urban and light-duty work use. It rolls on 17-inch Combra alloy wheels and includes practical touches like a power tailgate lock, a fixed rear-view camera, and front and rear Park Distance Control. A trailer hitch is also standard, which adds to its versatility.
The load box features six tie-down hooks and cargo lights, while VW adds that the cabin focuses on comfort and everyday usability. The seats are trimmed in hard-wearing fabric, and the dashboard houses an 8-inch infotainment display paired with six speakers. Connectivity includes Bluetooth and smartphone mirroring through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
