Volkswagen Amarok claims first industry award

Motorists looking for Volkswagen deals may be interested to hear that the new Amarok, which went on sale last month, has claimed the Pick-up category at the British Vehicle Security Awards.

The awards were created to recognise and raise the profile of the best in-vehicle security on the newest cars and vans on the market, and are judged on criteria identified by the creators of the New Vehicle Security Ratings (BVSR) scheme.

Vehicles such as the Amarok, that make the shortlist for the awards, must have a maximum of five-stars for the 'theft from' category, double locking, and an 'E' insurance suffix – indicating a feature that exceeds the required standard.

Volkswagen also picked up the Manufacturer of the Year award for the second year as well as a host of other accolades for some of its vehicle range.

Simon Elliott, director, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, said: "These awards are another demonstration of our commitment to enhancing our vehicles and reducing the cost of ownership for commercial vehicle owners."
