Volkswagen’s most recent product developed: Volkswagen Amarok

Volkswagen Amarok is a truck (pick up truck) built by Volkswagen. It succeeds Volkswagen Taro (pick up truck developed by Volkswagen back in 1989).  Volkswagen Amarok was first launched in Argentina in December 2009 and, so far, seems to be picking up all the good praise. Recently, in November 2010, Volkswagen Amarok was awarded a 4-star safety crash rating by the European crash rating agency.

No word on the release to the US market yet.

What’s under the hood of Volkswagen Amarok?

• 2.0 liter engine (diesel or petrol)
• 6-speed manual transmission
• 29-31 MPG fuel consumption (estimated)
• Front-end, rear-wheel OR 4motion Four-wheel drive

Volkswagen reportedly expects to manufacturer as much as 90,000 trucks per year once production is at full capacity.
