Volkswagen’s latest offering, the 2023 Amarok, has been announced with a starting price of $50,990 Australian dollars, exclusive of on-roads. The price may seem steep compared to its predecessor, but the new model promises to be a much safer and technologically advanced vehicle.
With three engine options, the Amarok offers a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine in two different states of tune, a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V6 engine, and a unique 2.3-liter turbocharged petrol engine, which is not available in the Ford Ranger, despite the two sharing the same platform.
The Amarok is available in five trim levels, including Core, Life, Style, PanAmerica, and Aventura. While the top-tier models are expected to arrive in Australia towards the end of Q1 2023, lower-end models will follow shortly after.
The Amarok’s entry-level TDI405 engine is a 2.0-liter single-turbo four-cylinder diesel engine that generates 125kW of power and 405Nm of torque. The engine can be paired with either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission and a 4Motion four-wheel-drive system, which offers selectable 2H, 4H, and 4L modes.
The TDI500 engine is a bi-turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo diesel engine, generating 154kW of power and 500Nm of torque, mated with a 10-speed automatic transmission and selectable four-wheel drive.
The TDI600 engine is a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 diesel engine, generating 184kW of power and 600Nm of torque, mated with a 10-speed automatic and full-time four-wheel drive.
The only petrol engine available in the Amarok is the TSI452, a turbocharged 2.3-liter petrol engine generating 222kW of power and 452Nm of torque. It is mated with a 10-speed automatic transmission and full-time four-wheel drive.
The new Volkswagen Amarok, with its impressive engine choices and advanced features, promises to be a strong contender in the Australian market. Although the price may seem high, the Amarok’s improved safety features and technological advancements make it a valuable investment.
