The Advertiser

10 hours ago

Volkswagen Australia has announced drive-away pricing and specification tweaks for its 2025 Amarok lineup, and the big news is prices are down across the dual-cab 4×4 pickup range, which has now been joined by the new Amarok 10 Deserts Edition and the addition of cab/chassis variants.
The Amarok range now starts at $55,990 drive-away for the base Core TDI405, $1000 more than its previous list price (excluding statutory on-road costs), effectively bringing its cost down by up to $4000.
The TSI452 Aventura has received the biggest cut, with the sole petrol version of the German brand's dual-cab now priced at $79,990 drive-away, down from $82,990 before on-roads previously.
Elsewhere, the Guinness World Record-setting 10 Deserts Edition has joined the range at $69,990 drive-away, while four variants of the previously pickup-only range can now be had with an alloy tray for an additional $4000.

Based on the TDI500 Life, the 10 Deserts Edition brings off-road focused upgrades like 17-inch satin black wheels and Continental CrossContact all-terrain tyres, a 40mm suspension lift, and extra underbody protection.
This has contributed to a total ground clearance of 275mm, 3mm more than the Ford Ranger Raptor and at least 40mm more than the highest-riding standard Amarok.
Separately, entry-level Core TDI405 and mid-range Life and Style variants (with both TDI500 four-cylinder and TDI600 V6 turbo-diesel engines) can now be had in cab/chassis form with a factory alloy tray.
It measures 1900mm long and 1835mm wide, with a 1650mm internal length, and cab/chassis variants cost an additional $4000 over their pickup equivalents.
A 243kg steel tray can also be installed as a dealer-fit option in place of the alloy tray, which is claimed to weigh 132kg.
Other changes for the wider Amarok lineup include a 230V power socket in the tub of Style, PanAmericana and Aventura grades, supported by a 400W inverter that can power electrical appliances, laptops and battery packs.
The same model grades also now come with Trailer Assist as standard, which Volkswagen says has been updated for better compatibility with the ute's Rear Traffic Alert system.
No changes have been applied to the Amarok's exterior, apart from a new Reed Green Metallic paint colour that replaces Mid Blue Metallic. All metallic paint options cost an additional $1100.
The Ranger-based ute also remains the same inside for MY25, with the same upholstery options and colours available across the range, along with the same array of tech and digital screens carried over from the pre-update model.

Like the wider Volkswagen Australia range, the Amarok is covered by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty.
Service pricing as of July 1, 2025 is detailed below:
Alternatively, customers can purchase a five-year 'Care Plan' for $2200.
The Volkswagen Amarok has a five-star ANCAP safety rating based on testing conducted in 2022.
This result was drawn from testing of the closely related Ford Ranger, with additional frontal offset and side impact tests conducted on the Amarok by Euro NCAP, which has harmonised testing protocols with ANCAP.
