The Volkswagen Amarok For Sale is a midsize ‘bakkie’ or pickup that has been in production since 2010. Available as single-0cab, double cab or, 5 door SUV. Intended to compete in the same segment as the Toyota Hilux, the Second Hand Volkswagen Amarok is marketed as a robust bakkie, with the stuff to hold up against some serious competition. Although only one generation is available, there havve been several facelifts and updates to stay relevant and trendy. The youngest second-hand model on offer would be the 2019 3 litre TDI V6 version with 4Motion (four by four capability).
The external design has been updated and the latest model is a combination of robust efficiency and streamlined silhouette. The look and feel is no-nonsense work-horse with comfort. The 3litre TDI V6 has a couple of additional elements that rear-wheel-drive does not have. The chrome grille displays the V6 badge and the V6 badge is also proudly displayed at the back. Led bi-xenon lights and back brake light in the window also marks the V6 as a slightly superior beast than its siblings.
The interior of the second-hand Amarok car for sale is utilitarian to a fault. Hardwearing plastics and leather combined with some comfort mark this as a bakkie built for farm work or light industrial logistics. The interior tech is minimal, although the younger models do have a touchscreen infotainment system with USB and Apple CarPlay. Don’t look for too many fancy comforts thought. This bakkie was built to work and not to impress with looks and bells and whistles.
Performance-wise, the 3litre turbo-diesel V6 engine does not disappoint. 125kW of power and an impressive 550Nm of torque give you all the power you need for driving loads, towing or to navigating difficult terrain. Fuel economy for the V6 depends on how you drive but has been recorded at an acceptable 9litres per 100km. The 8-speed automatic gearbox is smooth and the permanent 4Motion gives you that extra ability. The drive is relatively comfortable. The suspension is smooth and seats are soft and comfortable, an improvement in the class and, certainly appreciated by farmers and logistics workers that have to be on the road for long stretches. Handling is direct but not sensitive, once again emphasising that this is a robust work vehicle. Market-wise the Pre-Owned Volkswagen Amarok for sale slots in between the Hilux and Ford Ranger, depending on your budget and brand affiliation the Amarok is a competent and durable vehicle.
