At the motor show, VW said it will be releasing a production version of the Tarok for that market with “barely any changes” and that it will be launched first with a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder enginee (the Concept features a 1.4L turbo petrol).

Sitting below the Amarok, the Tarok offers a, “Targa-inspired roof bar, charismatic front end, three-dimensional LED lighting strip in the rear, and powerful yet stylish side panels, the Tarok Concept’s expressive design makes it the first pick-up to combine the stylistic elements of an urban SUV with an authentic off-road design,” said Klaus Bischoff, Head Designer at Volkswagen.
