About the Volkswagen Amarok
The Volkswagen Amarok is a premium diesel bakkie available in South Africa across single cab and double cab body styles with 2.0-litre and 3.0-litre TDI and BiTDI diesel engines and a 2.3-litre TSI petrol option, spanning Life, Style, Dark Label, PanAmericana, and Aventura specification levels in 4x2 and 4Motion four-wheel drive configurations. It occupies the premium end of the bakkie segment, competing with the Toyota Hilux Legend and Ford Ranger Wildtrak on lifestyle specification while offering a more car-like driving experience and a higher-quality interior than most bakkie alternatives. The Amarok suits buyers who want a premium double cab bakkie with Volkswagen build quality, strong resale value, and a driving character that prioritises refinement and comfort over outright commercial utility.
