 Rear-wheel drive. A cardan shaft transmits the entire drive force to the rear axle to allow perfect handling. The 4x2 drive is intended for paved roads and pathways, but can also be used on light terrain.

Selectable 4MOTION all-wheel drive. Anyone who frequently travels through tough terrain has a reliable partner with this 4x4 drive. A transfer case with electrically selectable front-wheel drive allows you to engage the front wheels when needed, even whilst the vehicle is in motion. An additional gear reduction setting can be activated to cope with steep inclines or slippery, wet ground. This ensures optimal traction at all times during off-road driving. On paved roads, the vehicle runs in rear-wheel drive mode.

Permanent 4MOTION* all-wheel drive. This permanent 4x4 drive with self-locking centre differential is a speciality in the pickup segment and offers the ideal setting for driving on as well as off the road with its power distribution of 60:40 (ratio between the rear and front axle). This all-wheel drive really demonstrates its strengths on open terrain: if one wheel starts to spin, the electronic differential lock is activated. It brakes the wheel and transfers the entire power to the wheel with the best traction.

The Amarok doesn’t just have a lot of character from the outside, there is plenty of personality under the engine compartment lid, too: you have the choice of a particularly fuel-efficient 2.0 l TDI diesel with 103 kW and the powerful 2.0 l BiTDI engine with 132 kW and up to 420 Nm – each equipped with modern common rail technology for greater running smoothness and more efficiency. Both versions have a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard; the 132 kW engine*** can be combined with an innovative 8-speed automatic gearbox on request.

8-speed automatic gearbox

It is available for the 132 kW engine and can be combined with permanent 4MOTION all-wheel drive as well as rear wheel drive. The first gear is optimised for off-road use and pulling away when towing a trailer. This eliminates the need for additional gear reduction. The eighth gear, on the other hand, has a longer gear ratio and is designed for fuel-efficient driving at lower revs.
