VW Amarok Pickup Leasing Specials

The Volkswagen Amarok has been redesigned, redefined, and crowned What Van?’s 2024 Pick-up of the Year — and for good reason. With up to 3,500kg towing capacity, a payload of up to 1,101kg, and the ability to fit a Euro pallet crosswise in the load bed, it’s clearly built for hard work. But it doesn’t stop there.

Whether you’re navigating a muddy site or heading off-grid for the weekend, the Amarok’s 4MOTION drivetrain, six drive modes, and optional V6 engine deliver serious off-road muscle. Inside, you’ll find high-end touches like a Harman Kardon sound system, ambient lighting, and a digital cockpit — turning long drives into first-class journeys.

What’s New in the VW Amarok?

The latest-generation Volkswagen Amarok isn’t just an update — it’s a complete reimagining of what a pickup can be. From the bold new exterior design to the tech-packed cabin and enhanced off-road engineering, everything has been dialled up.

Improved Off-Road Performance – With a leap forward in capability, the Amarok now comes with up to six selectable drive modes, increased fording depth (300mm more than its predecessor), and reworked suspension tuning. Whether towing, crawling, or climbing, it’s built to handle it all.
Enhanced Load Bay Practicality – With a longer 1,624mm load length and integrated lashing eyes, the Amarok makes securing and transporting cargo easier than ever — whether it’s tools, gear, or a Euro pallet.
Load/Trailer Drive Mode – Designed for heavy hauling, this smart mode adjusts the automatic transmission’s shift points when the Amarok is fully loaded or towing. It holds gears longer to maximise engine output — making full use of the turbocharged power under strain.
New Trim Line-Up – The Amarok now offers a more structured and versatile range than ever before — from the robust Life to the refined Style, the off-road-ready PanAmericana, and the top-tier Aventura. Each trim delivers a distinct blend of styling, comfort, and tech, making it easier to choose the right Amarok for your lifestyle or business.
Upgraded Engines & Transmission – The latest Amarok introduces a 3.0L V6 TDI as the range-topping option, plus two 2.0 TDI choices — all paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic gearbox. And with 4MOTION all-wheel drive standard across the board, it’s ready for any terrain.

Find the Amarok That Fits You

With four distinct trim levels, the Volkswagen Amarok isn’t a one-size-fits-all pickup — it’s built to suit a variety of drivers, professions, and lifestyles. Whether you’re after rugged practicality, high-end comfort, or serious off-road prowess, there’s an Amarok that fits.

Life – The No-Nonsense Workhorse

Best for: Tradespeople, fleet buyers, and business users

Why choose it: The Life trim keeps things simple and robust — ideal if you need a reliable daily work vehicle. With durable fabric seats, manual air-con, and practical driver aids like Lane Assist and a Rear-View Camera, it’s designed to handle tough days without the fluff.

Style – Everyday Usability Meets Executive Comfort

Best for: Professionals, family users, dual-purpose drivers

Why choose it: Style blends capability with a big step up in refinement. You get ArtVelours upholstery, ambient lighting, a 12″ digital cockpit, and IQ.LIGHT LED Matrix headlights. It’s perfect if you want the utility of a pickup but with a car-like interior experience.

PanAmericana – Ready for the Off-Road Adventure

Best for: Off-road enthusiasts, explorers, rural drivers

Why choose it: Aventura is the flagship trim with 21″ alloys, Savona leather, chrome accents, and a Harman Kardon sound system. It’s designed to make a statement — perfect if you want premium SUV comfort and technology in a pickup format.

Powertrains, Towing Capacity & Payloads

The Volkswagen Amarok offers a powertrain for every kind of driver, blending rugged utility with refined engineering. Across all four trim levels, every model comes equipped with 4MOTION all-wheel drive as standard, ensuring confidence on every surface from city streets to off-road trails.

Entry-level Amarok Life models offer a 2.0-litre TDI engine with 170PS and a 6-speed manual gearbox, ideal for dependable everyday use. For those wanting automatic convenience, a 205PS 2.0 TDI paired with a 10-speed auto is also available in the Life and Style trims. Stepping up to the Style trim introduces an even punchier option: a 240PS 3.0-litre V6 TDI—standard on the PanAmericana and Aventura. This top-tier engine combines effortless towing strength with smooth, powerful performance that makes light work of demanding terrain or long motorway journeys.

When it comes to muscle, the Amarok’s towing capacity speaks for itself. All automatic models can pull up to 3,500kg (braked), making them ideal for trailers, boats, machinery, or even livestock transport. And thanks to the Load/Trailer driving mode, the Amarok adjusts its gear shifts to hold lower gears longer, optimising torque delivery under strain — exactly when you need it most.

Model	Engine	Transmission	Towing	Payloads kg	Efficiency mpg
Life	2.0 TDI 170PS	6sp Manual	3,420	1,101	30.1–33.6
Life	2.0 TDI 205PS	10sp Automatic	3,500	1,051–1,052	30.4–32.8
Style	2.0 TDI 205PS	10sp Automatic	3,500	1,023–1,048	30.1–32.1
Style	3.0 TDI 240PS	10sp Automatic	3,500	1,006–1,067	27.7–28.0
PanAmericana	3.0 TDI 240PS	10sp Automatic	3,500	1,011–1,043	27.4–28.0
Aventura	3.0 TDI 240PS	10sp Automatic	3,500	835–870	27.4–28.0

* Note: Every trim level comes equipped with 4MOTION all-wheel drive as standard.

Cargo Bed Volume: Designed for Versatility

The new Amarok cargo bed is engineered to meet the demands of professionals and adventurers alike. With a load bed length of 1,624mm and a width of 1,584mm, there’s more than enough room for serious payloads—up to 1.1 tonnes, in fact.

Thanks to the 1,224mm width between the wheel arches, the Amarok easily accommodates a Euro pallet loaded sideways or lengthways—ideal for contractors and tradespeople. Sturdy lashing rings (three per side, rated to 400kg combined) ensure your cargo stays secure no matter the terrain.

Add to that a suite of smart accessories, including an electric roll top, hard tops, load liners, and 230V power outlets (Style trim and above), and you’ve got a workspace that works as hard as you do—on the jobsite, off-road, or anywhere in between.

Trim Level	Cab Type	Bed Length	Bed Width	Wheel Arch Width
All Trims	Double Cab	1624mm	1584mm	1227mm

Best Alternative to the Amarok Pickup

If you’re exploring options beyond the Amarok, the Ford Ranger is a great pickup to lease — and that’s no coincidence. The two pickups were co-developed under a partnership between Volkswagen and Ford, sharing a common platform, 4×4 systems, and engine architecture.

Both offer strong diesel options, including a 3.0L V6, up to 3,500kg towing capacity, and 10-speed automatic gearboxes. Where the Ranger stands apart is in its cab configurations — offering a Single Cab option, unlike the UK Amarok, which is only available as a Double Cab.

However, the Amarok sets itself apart inside, with a distinct Volkswagen cabin, more premium materials, and high-spec features like Harman Kardon audio, ambient lighting, and leather trim on upper models.

In short, the Ranger offers flexibility, while the Amarok delivers refinement. Both are serious contenders — the best choice comes down to your priorities.

FAQs: Know Your Amarok

Q1. Is the Volkswagen Amarok available in a Single Cab or an Extended Cab?

Every UK-spec Amarok comes with four full-size doors and seating for five, making it ideal for both work and everyday practicality. While Single Cab variants (with a longer load bed and two doors) do exist, they are currently only offered in select international markets.

Q2. Can I customise the Amarok with accessories like hardtops or roll covers?

Yes. Volkswagen offers a wide range of factory-approved accessories, including electric roll tops, hardtops, roof racks, load liners, and even 230V power outlets — making the Amarok easy to adapt for work, leisure, or overlanding.

Q3. Can the Amarok handle serious off-roading?

Yes. With up to six drive modes, a locking rear diff, high fording depth (800mm), and a rugged chassis, the Amarok PanAmericana and Aventura trims are especially suited for serious terrain. It’s more than capable of holding its own in mud, sand, and snow.
