Pick-up improved in every area: World premiere of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ new Amarok

 

• New generation launches end of the year
• Premium interior with intuitive digital and analogue controls
• Over 20 new driver assist systems make driving even more effortless
• Up to five turbocharged engines with power output levels from 110 to 222 kW

 

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles presents the new Amarok. The on- and off-road all-rounder has been designed and conceived in Germany and Australia; it is being produced in South Africa. A premium pick-up for Australia and New Zealand, numerous countries of Africa, the Middle East and Europe. Its set of features, over 20 new driver assist systems, mobile online services, engines that are both efficient and high-torque, two all-wheel drive technologies, tailor-made accessories and clear Volkswagen design DNA make the new Amarok one of the most versatile and well-balanced pick-ups in the world. The premium pick-up will come onto the market in the first few countries from the end of the year.

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles (VWCV) sold over 830,000 units of the first-generation Amarok in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, North Asia and South and Central America. Now comes the second generation. Everything is new. But the Volkswagen design makes it immediately clear: this is an Amarok. It has become bigger, more powerful, more athletic and more charismatic. “For the new generation we have significantly modified the Amarok’s archetypal design. It is now unambiguously more expressive and even more impressive”, says Albert Kirzinger, Head of Design at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. Making a statement in itself is the new front section of the pick-up, which is launching in the specification variants ‘Amarok’, ‘Life’ and ‘Style’, as well as the top versions ‘PanAmericana’ (off-road styling) and ‘Aventura’ (exclusive styling).

The new Amarok is being launched with a four-door double cab (DoubleCab) and two-door single cab (SingleCab). In silhouette the wheel arches, which are half-round as before, are especially striking on both versions. The wings above the up to 21-inch alloy wheels have a powerful look and around the wheel arches are clad with robust plastic.

Long wheelbase enhances proportions and off-road qualities
At 5,350 millimetres, the new Amarok is 96 mm longer than its predecessor. A wheelbase of 3,270 mm represents an increase of 173 mm. That provides more room, especially on the double cab’s second row of seats. The wheelbase has thus grown much more than the total length. And that shortens the body overhangs. The result: sharper proportions and improved off-road capability thanks to better approach angles. The off-road capabilities of the Amarok, which will have all-wheel drive as standard in many markets, are also enhanced by much greater fording depth for driving through watery terrain. Previously it was 500 mm, now it’s 800 mm.

High-quality Volkswagen interior for professional tasks
With its self-explanatory and digital displays, the interior has been configured by the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles design team in a very functional and high-quality way. The spectrum of display units is made up of digital 8.0-inch instruments (‘Digital Cockpit’, fully digital and 12.0-inch in size on the Style and above) and a highly modern touchscreen in tablet format (10.0-inch in size; on the Style and above 12.0-inch as standard) for the infotainment system. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has implemented a mix of digital functions and ergonomically configured buttons and/or push/rotary switches in the Amarok that are intuitive to use. The infotainment system’s volume and all-wheel drive system’s settings are, for instance, controlled via such hard keys. Dependent on specification, these both robust and premium-looking features are framed in aluminium.

Further features such as the sound system from Harman Kardon – as standard in the Amarok PanAmericana and Ventura and available as an option for other specification lines – fit well into this scene of high-quality detail. It is a system being used exclusively in the Amarok. Likewise included as standard in the Amarok PanAmericana and Aventura: a leather-look instrument panel with elegant contrast stitching. The vehicle’s premium positioning is also matched by the new seating: the Amarok’s driver and front-seat passenger sit on ergonomically designed seats, which in the higher specifications can be electrically adjusted into multiple positions. The rear of the DoubleCab also offers plenty of space and comfort for three adult passengers to enjoy the journey. The seats of the Style version have ArtVelours covers as standard, while in the Amarok PanAmericana and Aventura Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles uses high-quality leather.

Ample room in the cargo box for payloads of up to 1.16 tonnes
It is also strikingly spacious behind the double or single cab: in what is known as the cargo box. As was the case on the predecessor model, the cargo bed between the wheel arches has enough room for a Euro pallet loaded in sideways. The single cab version can even take two pallets loaded in sideways. The load is strapped down via eye rings on the cargo bed, which can each take a load of up to 500 kilograms. In line with this high load capability, the maximum payload has gone up from a good tonne to now 1.16 tonnes. The cargo box can also be secured using an electrically operated roll cover. This roll cover can be opened and closed from the cargo box itself, from inside the vehicle or by remote control via the vehicle key.

New range of accessories fulfils all requirements
An interesting fact for globetrotters is that the static roof load capacity is 350 kg – sufficient, for instance, for a four-person roof tent that will be available as an accessory. Either ex-factory or in the range of accessories, there will also be features such as alloy wheels up to 21-inch in size, all-terrain tyres (up to 18-inch) and a diverse array of trailer mounts. Further features available for the cargo box will include a bike holder, a multifunction carrier system, a manual version of the roll cover and a very diverse range of styling bars. There will once again be a hardtop for the cargo bed, with which the pick-up effectively transforms itself into an SUV with the load capacity of a van. The off-road qualities, meanwhile, can be further optimised by a bull bar, underbody protection elements, all-terrain running gear, eye rings for hauling, and a snorkel attached on the outside to the left-side A-pillar for supplying the engine with fresh air when driving through water.

Five turbocharged engines, individually tailored to the world’s markets
Four turbo diesel (TDI) engines and one turbocharged petrol (TSI) engine have been developed for the new Amarok. Qualities common to all five engines are efficiency and high levels of torque. On the African market, for instance, it is the base specification engine that is being used: a four-cylinder, 2.0-litre TDI delivering 110 kW (150 PS). In terms of power output the next engine for many markets of the world is a 2.0-litre four-cylinder TDI delivering 125 kW (170 PS). As the third level, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles will be offering a four-cylinder TDI engine with 2.0 litres of cubic capacity and bi-turbocharging; it develops 150 kW (204 PS) or 154 kW (209 PS) dependent on the market. The engine used as the new top TDI is a 3.0-litre V6. It provides power output of 177 kW (241 PS) or 184 kW (250 PS) dependent on the market. A 222 kW (302 PS) 2.3-litre turbocharged petrol engine has also been designed specifically for the traditional petrol engine markets.

New 10-speed automatic transmission and 4MOTION systems
As of a power output of 154 kW all Amarok versions will come onto the market as standard with a new 10-speed automatic gearbox served via a (by wire) e-shifter. For the 150-kW version this automatic transmission will be available as an option. The new 10-speed gearbox replaces the 8-speed automatic transmission of the predecessor model. In addition, there will be 6-speed automatic transmission and manual 6- or 5-speed gearboxes for various engines.

In many markets the Amarok is being supplied with all-wheel drive (4MOTION) as standard. Depending on region and engine there will be two different 4MOTION systems here: one with selectable all-wheel drive based on the given situation, and one with permanent all-wheel drive. The drive system technology ensures that the new Amarok too is able to master any terrain and depending on engine version is permitted to tow up to 3.5 tonnes.

Over 20 new driver assist systems make driving even more effortless
Up to six different driving profiles (Drive Modes) assist the driver in a variety of situations – for instance, when driving on slippery surfaces or on demanding off-road terrain. The new Amarok is also made easier to drive by its driver assist systems. More than 20 of these systems – for example ACC+ Adaptive Cruise Control (incorporates road signs into the automatic control of speed via camera scans) and ‘IQ.LIGHT – LED matrix headlights’ – are new on the Amarok and make the Volkswagen more effortless to drive than almost any other pick-up on the world market.

Beh avrebbe anche senso considerata l’inutilità di quel brand, secondo me

quella in foto è la Samsung XM3 che ha debuttato un po’ prima dell’Arkana europea e con cui comunque condivide la medesima base.

Magari aggiornano quella allontanandola dagli stilemi Renault?

Dalla linea dei finestrini direi che é l'ennesimo clone di Navara, che sarebbe anche sensato dal punto di vista finanziario.

Molto vicino al rinnovato (che poi è comunque vecchio) Frontier per l’America.

Secondo me anche l’impostazione stilistica è più vicina a quel mercato lì, in cui se non erro L200 non è presente.

Io la trovo davvero orripilante

#Pills : il design della Lotus Prj. 133, ossia la quattro porte sportiva, è stato ultimato e reso noto ai rivenditori che hanno accolto il modello con entusiasmo.
Sarà presentato nel 2023 come veicolo più lussuoso mai creato prima dal brand e deriverà da Polestar 5 da cui comunque si differenzierà nello stile.

Mi sembra un pesante restyling della Vitara.

Sostituisce questa e ne è pesante restyling

Debutta anche Urban Cruiser Hyrider, ossia la variante Toyota della nostra Vitara, pensata esclusivamente per il mercato indiano e probabilmente, più in là, per altri mercati emergenti.

A questo modello seguirà anche una versione a marchio Maruti-Suzuki, modello che introdurrà Vitara nel mercato indiano (ma ancora non sappiamo se servirà da base anche per la nuova generazione del nostro modello, benché sempre basata sulla stessa piattaforma).

All'esterno la differenziazione da Suzuki è sempre più evidente, come visto già su Glanza, con un anteriore dominato da fanaleria sdoppiata e dalla calandra chiusa chiamata Crystal Acrilic.

Urban Cruiser Hyrider misura 4365 mm e ha un passo di 2600mm, quasi quanto una S-Cross.

Due i motori scelti per questo nuovo modelli: lo strong-hybrid, così definito, di derivazione Toytoa composto dal 1.5 con ciclo Atkinson + motore elettrico per 115 hp totali e 25km di autonomia in elettrico oppure il 1.5 DualJet MHEV con 103 cv.

All'interno l'impostazione è quella già vista su Glanza e Maruti Brezza e lo stesso vale per connessione media e ADAS.

Sarà rivale di Creta, Taigun, Seltos e Kushaq.

Purtroppo non è disponibile alcuna cartella stampa, al momento.

Ha debuttato in India ed è già in vendita la nuova generazione di Brezza, che si distacca totalmente da Vitara diventando un modello con identità propria (se ci limitiamo alla nomenclatura - si chiamava Vitara Brezza).

Dallo stile moderno e tech, come dice Maruti-Suzuki, la nuova Brezza misura 3995 mm con un passo di 2950mm: è un pesante restyling del precedente modello di cui mantiere dimensioni e piattaforma.

L'unico motore disponibile è il MHEV 1.5 DualJet da 103 cv con scelta tra manuale a 5 rapporti ed automatico a sei rapporti con palette al volante.

All'interno nuova anche la plancia, molto esseziale e Suzuki, con schermo da 9'' e molte funzionalità mutuate da Baleno (HuD e Wireless charger per smartphones inclusi).

Aggiornato anche il pack di ADAS disponibili.

Infine Maruti-Suzuki ha scelto di offrire la Brezza con due mood, uno più cittadino ed uno più campangolo.

Arriva oggi la conferma da parte di Ford Europe circa la commercializzazione dell'americano Bronco in alcuni paesi europei ed in quantità ridotte.

Ancora non è dato sapere quali paesi ricevano l'apprezzato modello statunitense o con quali motorizzazioni ed allestimenti, ma certo è che verrà introdotto verso la fine del 2023 come model year '24.

Nessuna intenzione, invece, di creare una versione RHD per UK, Australia e Giappone.

• Ford introduces iconic 4x4-only Bronco SUV to Europe with rugged design, extreme off-road ability and latest-generation tech for a wide range of off-road conditions
• Bronco’s “Goes Over Any Type of Terrain” ability delivered by exclusive Terrain Management System™ with up to seven selectable drive modes, Trail Toolbox and high-performance off-road suspension
• Vast range of available accessories includes roof tents, light bars, equipment carriers and washable seat trims to support all kinds of adventures

 

COLOGNE, Germany, July 4, 2022 – Ford today announced an all-American legend is coming to Europe for the first time with the introduction of the 4x4-only, extreme off-road-capable Bronco ¹ SUV.

Delivering go-anywhere ability enhanced by smart technologies, the four-door Bronco will be available in strictly limited numbers in selected left-hand drive European markets from late 2023.

Unmistakeable design inside and out takes inspiration from icons including the 1966 Bronco original, the tough looks and rugged ability of the US market F-Series truck, and the performance spirit of the Ford Mustang, to create an SUV with a unique style and a genuine sense of adventure.

Bronco earns its “G.O.A.T” (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) moniker thanks to a sophisticated four-wheel drive system and innovative adventure technologies including Trail Control^™ and up to seven drive modes. ²

Developed from the outset with adventure front-of-mind, the versatile Bronco offers unique features like removable panels, integrated mounting points that are designed specifically for accessories, and easy to clean materials as standard. Bronco customers can choose from a wide range of Ford-approved accessories, all designed for seamless integration and maximum personalisation to suit a variety of adventurous activities.

"The Bronco is Ford’s toughest and most versatile off-roader, and the new generation fuses the DNA of the original with the latest terrain-handling technologies and a vast range of accessories to create a new off-road icon,” said Matthias Tonn, chief engineer, Import Vehicles, Ford of Europe. “Following the huge success of the new Bronco in the US we are thrilled to be bringing some of the spirit of adventure to our customers in Europe.”

 

Rebirth of a legend

Since the first example was introduced to the US in 1966, the Bronco has represented the ultimate in freedom, fun and outdoor capability. Ford reintroduced the iconic Bronco in North America in 2020 after a 25-year absence, staying true to the original DNA while introducing all-new, innovative features for genuine off-road functionality. Now Bronco is being offered in Europe, in strictly limited numbers for outdoor enthusiasts.

Starting with a clean sheet of paper, the Bronco design team began by making a digital, full-size scan of the first-generation model to ensure that the strong proportions and instantly recognisable shape remained key elements of the new design. Short overhangs, strong feature lines and bold, functional details give Bronco the purposeful and rugged look that make it unmistakable, as well as contributing to its exceptional off-road capability.

The front of the vehicle features the distinctive full-width grille, circular headlights and bold badging to give a truly unique look. The squared-off body panels are designed to make it easier to see the SUV’s outer corners and therefore easier to place in challenging off-road conditions.

Bronco also features many simple but clever touches such as the bolt-on plastic wheel arches and trail sights – raised sections on top of the front wings to help the driver locate the vehicle corners – that can be used as tie-down points capable of supporting up to 68 kg. This makes it easier to transport larger items such as canoes.

The Bronco has a removable hard top, complete with a sound-dampening headliner for comfortable on-road performance. The hard top also separates into four panels with dedicated on-board storage bags for the front two panels for maximum flexibility. All the doors can be removed completely ³ – and individually – using a single tool and in just eight minutes, providing the ultimate in fresh-air freedom as well as even greater visibility in off-road environments.

Frameless windows reduce the overall weight of the doors, making them light enough to be removed by owners of almost any stature. Customers of conventional 4x4s with removable doors are left with the issue of what to do with them, while Bronco offers dedicated storage bags to allow the doors to be stored safely and securely on board, ready for refitting in a matter of minutes. The design team also mounted the rear-view mirrors ahead of the windscreen to maintain visibility even with the doors removed.

The Bronco features several other removable elements that allow both for customisation and enhanced off-road performance, including a front grille and bumper that can be removed and swapped for alternative versions. The plastic wheel arch flares are designed to separate without damage in the event of an impact in off-road conditions and can be easily and quickly replaced.

All around the Bronco are several design “Easter eggs” – hidden details that celebrate the Bronco’s heritage and are designed to be discovered by the owner as they use their vehicle. Examples include hidden bucking Bronco logos, a graphic illustrating the original 1966 model range, a bottle opener built into the interior and hidden GPS coordinates to locations used for testing during the Bronco’s development.

“It was crucial that the return of Bronco was authentic to the legacy of the original iconic, rugged SUV,” said Paul Wraith, Bronco chief designer. “Every decision we made about the Bronco’s design was about serving our customers better, maximising capability in the wild, its independence as a brand, and leaving no rock unturned – even down to the stamping of the bolt heads and the lettering on the tyres.”

 

Technology to set you free

The original Bronco earned the nickname G.O.A.T thanks to its remarkable off-road capability, and nothing less than similarly outstanding performance in tough conditions is delivered by the new generation. Thanks to intelligent drive technologies, the Bronco’s capability is accessible by novice adventurers as well as experienced off-road drivers.

At the heart of the Bronco’s go-anywhere ability is the Terrain Management System^™ that makes it easy for drivers to select the mode they need to suit the conditions. Alongside on-road modes such as Normal, Eco, Sport and Slippery, dedicated G.O.A.T. off-road modes include Mud/Ruts, Sand and an available racing-inspired Baja mode, each mode optimising throttle, gearbox shift points and steering response to suit the environment.

Bronco is available with a choice of a two-speed electronic transfer case that allows shifting on the move, or a two-speed electromechanical transfer case with an automatic mode, allowing the system to switch seamlessly between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive depending on the conditions. A locking rear differential is standard, while an available locking front differential and front anti-roll bar disconnect system delivers maximum articulation in challenging conditions.

The Bronco also offers a Trail Toolbox, a suite of sophisticated off-road technologies to support drivers and allow them to explore the vehicle’s capabilities in confidence. Trail Control^{™ 2} operates in a similar way to cruise control; the driver can select a speed up to 31 km/h and the vehicle will automatically manage acceleration and braking to maintain the selected speed while the driver concentrates on steering through difficult terrain.

Trail Turn Assist ² uses brake-based torque vectoring to reduce turning radius by up to 40 per cent when off-roading in confined spaces, while Trail One-Pedal Drive ² allows the driver to accelerate and brake using only the accelerator pedal, making it easier to control speed accurately when driving in challenging conditions. Driver assistance technologies include AdvanceTrac^™ with Roll Stability Control^™ and Trailer Sway Control for driver confidence when towing.

 

Built to be bold

Under the skin, Bronco is built on a boxed high-strength steel chassis with seven cross‑members, providing a tough core as well as allowing substantial suspension travel for spectacular off-road ability.

Bronco features High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension (HOSS), which comprises of independent wishbones with long-travel coil-over springs at the front, reducing unsprung weight by up to 20 per cent compared to solid axle designs, as well as offering superior ride quality and consistent contact with the surface. At the rear, a solid five-link rear axle with variable-rate long travel springs is standard, combined with heavy-duty dampers all-around. Available 17-inch and 18-inch alloy wheels are fitted with all-terrain tyres for on-road comfort and off-road confidence.

Customers seeking the highest level of off-road performance can ensure critical components are protected with an available front bash plate as well as shielding for the engine, transmission, transfer case and fuel tank. Available side rock rails are strong enough to support the weight of the vehicle for extreme rock-crawling, exposed tow hooks front and rear are standard, and a high-strength boron steel roof bar is fitted with integrated side curtain airbags, as well as seat side airbags and front airbags for complete confidence.

 

Tough outside, tough inside

Matching the tough and purposeful exterior, the new Bronco’s interior design is highly functional, packed with technology but also robust and designed to withstand use in tough environments. The instrument panel takes inspiration in its design from the first-generation Bronco, with colours inspired by natural palettes and outdoor gear, and materials chosen for durability.

Grab handles are integrated into the instrument panel and centre console for passenger comfort in all conditions. The centre console features a wireless charging pad that has been designed to keep a mobile phone in place even in extreme angles of lean. Instrument panel surfaces are wipeable and physical switches in the cabin are silicone-sealed and feature rubber touchpoints to ensure they are protected from the elements and are easy to clean.

Even though Bronco is built for the toughest conditions, there are no compromises in terms of comfort or convenience features. An 8-inch partial TFT instrument cluster is paired with a 12‑inch LCD centre touchscreen featuring the latest-generation SYNC 4 communication and entertainment system, ⁴ which benefits from Ford Power-Up wireless software updates for improved functionality over time.

Bronco also offers attachment points on top of the instrument panel for a device rack, allowing customers to attach their cameras or mobile phones with dedicated 12-volt and USB power connections.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto ⁵ are standard alongside a B&O^® Premium Sound System ⁶ with 10 speakers including a subwoofer, which integrates seamlessly with the available FordPass ⁷ app. Even when the going gets tough Bronco is looking out for you; a standard 360-degree camera system with off-road spotter views provides a view of the wheels not possible from the driver’s seat, increasing visibility during technical challenges such as rock crawling.

The new Bronco is designed to be ready for any kind of adventure, and customers can enhance their experiences with a wide choice of accessories designed to work hand-in-hand with Bronco’s systems while being easy to fit using dedicated mounts with branded Bronco Bolts.

Enhanced lighting systems such as an available roof-mounted light bar and A-pillar spotlights connect simply using the Bronco Bolts, while those wanting to sleep out of their Bronco can choose from a rear tent, roof tent or side awning for the ultimate in outdoor freedom. Neoprene seat covers offer enhanced protection in the toughest of off-road conditions, while roof rails and dedicated carriers available for the roof and tailgate enable easy transportation of equipment such as skis, bicycles and roof boxes.

“Bronco is built to give customers the freedom to explore with confidence, and this iconic car is adaptable to suit almost any kind of adventure that you should wish to go on without sacrificing comfort, utility or performance. It’s Ford’s most capable and versatile off-road SUV, and it is going to be empowering a lot of fun in Europe,” Matthias Tonn said.
