The new Volkswagen Amarok has had tongues wagging for months now and has just completed its international launch in Cape Town. During a recent press briefing the German brand unveiled the pricing for the new model that is soon to arrive.
Hot off the press
The premium bakkie segment may be relatively small in terms of the models on offer but makes up a large percentage of the sales. A premium bakkie is considered one which has luxury features and has a price tag to match.
Volkswagen led this segment for many years with the Amarok and there were many challengers to the crown. Mercedes tried with the X Class, and Nissan had a go with the Navarra but it would be the Ranger Wildtrak from Ford that would put up the greatest fight.
Hot on the heels of the international launch of the Amarok that was conducted in Cape Town late last year, the new Amarok is set to arrive on local shores in short time and in a very recent press briefing Volkswagen SA has just announced pricing and the model lineup for the 2023 year Amarok range.
It is now no secret that the new Amarok is being built by Ford and the entire industry has been eagerly awaiting the pricing of the new Amarok to see how it will compare to the Ranger lineup as there is quite some cross-pollination. Volkswagen SA says that although the vehicles share a platform, the Amarok will be its own vehicle and will retain the essence of Amarok.
Priced to go
The new model lineup has been expanded to 20 derivatives and VW has done away with the options list, so the models are fully inclusive of all the bells and whistles that you find in premium bakkies. Due to the vehicles being locally built VW has been able to save a massive amount on costs and has passed this on to consumers.
