To make the Amarok pickup truck an even more interesting prospect, Volkswagen unveiled a range of new accessories for the car.

Amarok’s accessories include a wide range of goodies from iPod adaptors and Bluetooth kits, to hard tops, tonneau covers and towbars. They will be available to order right form the launch in UK which is on 1 May.

On the outside, you get a decent styling package with a front bumper trim, exterior décor sets, side steps, plus stainless steel side rails and styling bars for the loadspace, and the option to upgrade to 19 in alloy wheels. VW also offers a lockable toolbox designed to fit between the wheelarches, across the load bay for more loadspace security.

Alternatively, to cover the entire loadspace there is a choice of tonneau covers (a soft waterproof cover which can be rolled out the way, or a choice of aluminium or body-coloured hard plastic covers which are lockable and hinge open for access), or a complete body-coloured hardtop.

For hard-core off-road enthusiasts volkswagen offers seat covers and rubber or carpet floor mats for the cab, parking sensors, mud flaps, an aluminium liner for the loadspace, plus a black steel grid for the rear window. Further underbody protection packs are also available.
