VW Amarok 3.0 V6 TDI 4MOTION 224

The VW Amarok 3.0 V6 TDI 4MOTION 224 reaches 60 mph in 6.93 s (100 km/h in 7.64 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.44 s, tripping the lights at 86.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.13 s and the eighth mile in 9.75 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Amarok 3.0 V6 TDI 4MOTION 224

The 2017 VW Amarok 3.0 V6 TDI 4MOTION 224 is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel pickup of 2,241 kg with 221 bhp, which works out at 99 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.13 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,526th quickest to 60 mph, and the 154th quickest of the 1124 VWs here. It leaves better than it pulls: 86.4 mph at the lights is only the 6,653rd highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the VW Amarok 3.0 V6 TDI 4MOTION 224 0-60 time?
The VW Amarok 3.0 V6 TDI 4MOTION 224 reaches 60 mph in 6.93 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,526th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the VW Amarok 3.0 V6 TDI 4MOTION 224 quarter mile time?
15.44 s at 86.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.75 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.13 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the VW Amarok 3.0 V6 TDI 4MOTION 224 have?
221 bhp and 2,241 kg, which is 99 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbodiesel, with 8 gears and a quoted top speed of 193 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the VW Amarok 3.0 V6 TDI 4MOTION 224?
Closest here on pace: Ford Ranger Raptor 3.0 V6 EcoBoost 292 (7.08 s), Audi Q3 2.0 TFSI Quattro 170 Auto (6.97 s), Audi Q7 3.0 V6 TDI 245 (6.97 s). Each one can be raced against the VW Amarok 3.0 V6 TDI 4MOTION 224 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The VW Amarok 3.0 V6 TDI 4MOTION 224 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
