Volkswagen Amarok wins the What Car? Pick-up of the year award.

23 January 2019

Volkswagen Amarok

Thanks to its powerful 3.0-litre V6 engine, the combination of on and off-road capabilities, and premium interior, the latest version of the Amarok has started 2019 securing the trophy.

Three versions of the engine are currently on offer: 163, 204, and 258 PS. Selectable and permanent 4 wheel drive system (4MOTION), six-speed manual, and 8-speed automatic gearboxes are available. As well as three trim levels (Trendline, Highline or the special "Aventura")

What Car?’s pick is the Trendline 204 PS with an automatic gearbox. Steve Huntingford, editor of What Car? comments: “If you want a pick-up that can put in a hard shift during the week then become family transport at the weekend, then look no further than the Volkswagen Amarok. Modern pick-ups are expected to do it all, and this one truly does.”

The honour was presented to Carl zu Dohna, Director of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles at a ceremony in London where he appended: “The Amarok has been a big hit since it was relaunched in 2017, and it’s maintained its popularity among both long-standing fans as well as those new to the pick-up market. This is a booming sector and we’re delighted that a publication with as much clout as What Car? has recognised the Amarok’s qualities and appeal.”

Nearly 3,500 Amaroks were sold in the UK in 2018, meaning a 17% increase in 2017’s sales. For more information on the Amarok or Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ award-winning range of vehicles. Please visit or contact our Van Centres in Poole, Southampton and Portsmouth.

Breeze Motor Company Ltd, Breeze (Southampton) Ltd and Breeze Motorcycles Limited are Appointed Representatives of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 571076). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Breeze Motor Company Ltd, Breeze (Southampton) Ltd and Breeze Motorcycles Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of finance providers and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time.
