It seems Volkswagen is actually looking to introduce a new pickup to market entitled the Amarok. While it almost seems like whoever came up with the name picked letters at random out of a hat, this is not the case; VW let us know that Amarok means “wolf” to the Inuit people and translates to “he loves stones” in “the languages spoken in South America”. Either way, VW is obviously trying to market this car as a heavy duty pickup.
Anyways, there are no real specs or even real pictures to go by as of now with the above being just a concept. However, we do know that the Amarok will debut as a double-cab sporting 4WD pickup with a single-cab model hitting market shortly after.
Volkswagen says their Amarok pickup truck will launch in South America early next year, Central America in spring of next year and Russia, Africa, Australia and Europe sometime after.
