Watch the world preview of the Volkswagen below:
First launched in South Africa in 2010, the Volkswagen Amarok has reportedly sold around 42 000 units locally and close to a million worldwide over the past 12 years. While the Amarok is the benchmark in our highly competitive bakkie market, most South Africans were initially hostile towards the bakkie.
Despite its rough start in the bakkie category due to the engine size of the 2.0-litre Amarok featured, Volkswagen steered on and was not deterred from its end goal of offering something different to what was on the market. Fast-forward to today, the Amarok is considered a rival to the Hilux and Ranger.
Available with one turbo, the engine delivered 90kW and 340Nm, while the same engine with bi-turbocharging was good for 120kW and 400Nm. Argued to not knowing what they were doing, as many argued that the engine would take a strain when the bakkie is loaded, the model’s common problems were reportedly solved in 2016 when Volkswagen introduced a facelift of this pickup.
In 2016, the facelift of the Volkswagen Amarok was introduced and the idea of a lifestyle bakkie was born. Apart from a few Japanese brands, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicle developed the Amarok, which was exactly that: a pickup that was better at transporting light loads and five people than heavy loads and just two.
The redesigned Volkswagen Amarok was introduced with new LED daytime running lights and the grille was also revised to resemble the ones fitted on the likes of Tiguan and Toureg. With the interior epitomising more of an SUV look than that of a utility vehicle, the Volkswagen started growing on customers. And when the 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 engine was fitted, even naysayers alike started singing a different tune.
Over the last decade, the Volkswagen Amarok also saw numerous special edition models join the range. Successfully carving a niche in the market and catering to a specific audience who acquire a Volkswagen Amarok for their lifestyle needs. Thus, the VW Amarok is perhaps the best lifestyle bakkie on sale in South Africa today.
