The front look has been tweaked up slightly over the older Amarok, with a more angular and aggressive look that includes daytime-running lights. There is an updated interior with the new 7in infotainment system, along with new switchgear and an improved button layout.

There’s some new safety technology called ‘Multi-Collision Braking System’, which will apply brakes and limit steering in the event of a prang. The idea is that it can stop a follow-on collision, but can also be over-ridden by the driver.
