New Amarok breaks cover

Volkswagen have released camouflage pictures of the next generation Amarok pickup on offroad driving trials, writes Brian Byrne.

The vehicle will go on sale in Ireland at the end of the year, with a new V6 diesel among the engine options.

The new Amarok will be longer and have a longer wheelbase than the previous one, and will have an increased payload up to 1.2 tonnes.

Depending on market, it will come with rear drive or a choice from two AWD versions.
