German automakers can do almost anything, which is why their pickup trucks turn out great. For example, Volkswagen model Amarok, the updated version of which will be released in a year - in 2017 - will finally (it seems that fans have been waiting for this for a very long time) will change significantly. Naturally, for the better.

Brief information about the 2017 Amarok model

The first pickup truck from the German automaker was released in 2009. Interestingly, the premiere took place in Argentina. Designer Walter de Silva is not involved in this, since he, despite the Spanish pronunciation of his name, was in fact born in Italy. This is the person responsible for appearance the first generation of the car, which, it should be noted, appealed to a huge number of car enthusiasts around the world, from the New to the Old World. Is it true, spy photos The pickup truck, as journalists insist, made by the designer himself, appeared on the Internet two years before the presentation - in 2007, in March.

Exterior

A year later, in 2008, in the fall, the concept of a pickup truck planned for release soon appeared. At the same time, Walter Maria de Silva already assured the public that what they see now will be almost identical (95%) to what they will be shown a year later. And so it happened.

Appearance original Volkswagen The Amarok, which is due for an update in 2017, was 95% similar to what was presented in the concept. Interestingly, many guests came to the presentation of the car, held in the province of Buenos Aires, including the then President of Argentina, Cristina Kirchner.

In 7 years of its existence, the pickup truck will change almost for the first time. The main changes in the exterior are in the front of the car. Here you will find new lighting equipment, a different false radiator grille, and an enlarged bumper. Head optics built on xenon lamps, running lights (for illumination in daylight hours days) - on LEDs. The radiator grille is chrome-plated with two interesting strips, and the company logo also flaunts along its perimeter.

The air intake, in turn, has also increased; the foglights, as before, located on the sides, have now become more expressive in appearance.

The rear of the car was only adjusted. It might be worth highlighting the interesting option of license plate illumination. According to journalists, who were allegedly told by sources close to the company, the designers, following the instructions of the management, intend to make a more stylish (and therefore attractive) car in the original design.

2017 VW Amarok interior

Inside the cabin of the new 2017 Volkswagen Amarok, there is a certain rigor in the interior design. So, dashboard I left the main control keys, sensors and multimedia system with me. The center of multimedia remains the 8-inch touch screen(all the same color, built using LED technology).

The driver-controlled steering wheel has now become multifunctional. You can also adjust and customize the position of the chair. In the rear, as well as in the front row of seats, already at the first review of the interior, increased ergonomics can be seen. Additional comfort when driving a car over long distances can be obtained through the climate control system (it works both front and rear).

It is noteworthy that the interior is trimmed in leather. Availability installed system safety with the possibility of automatic braking in case of detection of an accident, as well as parking sensors and rear camera will definitely please both the driver and passengers. All together makes driving a pickup truck an enjoyable experience.

Technical characteristics of the updated pickup model

VW Amarok 2017 has not become wider, longer, or taller dimensions this is the same pickup truck that was unveiled on stage in Argentina in 2009. But new engines are a completely different matter. 3-liter diesel and gasoline engines, which will be available to choose from, according to experts, will help the car develop power up to 225 Horse power. Insiders say that closer to the premiere, the manufacturer will add a couple of others to the existing line of engines.

Car competitors: Mitsubishi L200, Dodge Ram 1500 Rebel, Ford F-150 Raptor, Nissan Navara, Toyota Hilux.

They say that the pickup consumes only 7-8 liters of fuel per 100 km. We will soon find out whether everything is really so good, or in fact these are just big words.
