The initial version of the new Volkswagen Amarok will get a two-door cab, as well as unpainted bumpers, wheel arch protection and a chrome-free grille. One can only guess about the design of the headlights, probably, instead of high-tech matrix ones, simpler LED ones will take their place. Similarly, with wheels - the basic modification should have them on steel rims.
