Moving inside, this sport-themed SUV gains a black, red and silver GTI-style cabin including a sports steering wheel, exclusive Nubuck leather sports seats and carbon fibre coating on the dashboard and central tunnel. An infotainment system with eight-inch touchscreen and 500 watt subwoofer provides the in-car entertainment.
Beneath the hood there’s a 3.0-litre V6 TDI engine, which is good for 203 kW (272 hp) and 600 Nm of torque, with an eight-speed automatic gearbox feeding power to the permanent 4MOTION transmission. Out on the road the Amarok hits 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds.
