quote...."The automatic Amarok comes with an engine stop/start system as part of Volkswagen's fuel-saving BlueMotion Technology. A first for a pick-up and still pretty rare on many automatic passenger cars. It's a fairly intrusive system and quick to restart too. The Amarok also get regenerative barking and low rolling resistance tyres which helps improve fuel economy - it averages a claimed 37.2mpg and emits 199g/km - better figures than the 2.0 BiTDI 163PS Amarok with a manual gearbox.".....
I am assuming the Stop-Start is unintrusive and that it has regenerative braking?
I do have a question or two also:
1 - What's the UK price for this? I'll check and see if I can find anything but it would have been nice to have a guide in the review.
2 - Does the 4WD system on it allow it to be used without transmission wind-up (as per some L200's) as well as the "traditional" 2WD/4WD selection? or is that only possible with the version that has constant 4WD?
Thanks
Zuave.
