2013 VW Amarok Pickup Truck Benefits from a More Powerful Diesel and Added Features

Coinciding with the start of production of all double cab Amaroks for the European and Russian markets at VW's Hanover plant in Germany, the automaker has made a raft of changes for the 2013 model year version of its midsize pickup truck.

The updated Amarok gains an enhanced diesel powertrain along with new convenience features, an increased trailer load and an extended 12 warranty against corrosion perforation.

Which Model Does This New Chinese Pickup Truck Remind You Most of?

We're going to take a wild stab in the dark here (…), but for some reason, this new T3 pickup truck from China Hi-Tech Group Corporation (or CHTC) brings to mind the Volkswagen Amarok with a hint of Jetta Mk5 (2005-2010) or Golf Mk5 in the headlights.

CHTC's website says that the company is a wholly state-owned enterprise established in 1998 that currently employs 50,000 people and has 18 direct subsidiary companies located in more than 20 provinces in China and 20 countries and regions worldwide.

Volkswagen to Begin Production of Amarok Pickup Truck in Germany

A little over two years after the introduction of the Amarok and the start of production at Volkswagen Group's manufacturing Pacheco plant in Argentina, the automaker announced that the midsize pickup is also to be produced at the brand's factory in Hanover, Germany.

Volkswagen said it plans to manufacture around 40,000 Amarok trucks a year for customers in Eastern and Western Europe as well as Africa. The company noted that production in Argentina will continue but in the future, it will focus on deliveries to Latin America and South America.
