2025 Volkswagen Amarok price and specs: Cab-chassis joins the range
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. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. 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.

Volkswagen Amarok 10 Deserts Edition arrives alongside price cuts across the MY25 ute lineup
Pricing for the Volkswagen Amarok 10 Deserts Edition has been announced along with national drive-away pricing across the updated MY25 Volkswagen Amarok dual-cab ute lineup, bringing the cost of every variant down. The entry-level Amarok Core TDI405 Core is now priced at $55,990 drive-away – $1000 more than its previous list price which did not include on-road costs, effectively making it up to $4000 cheaper than before. The biggest cut, as predicted by CarExpert, has been applied to the only petrol model grade, the Amarok TSI452 Aventura, which now costs $79,990 drive-away (previously $82,990 plus on-roads). Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. The limited-edition 10 Deserts Edition TDI500 joins the lineup at $69,990 drive-away, positioned between the Amarok Life TDI500 ($61,990 drive-away) and the Style TDI500 ($72,740 drive-away). The new model grade was inspired by the Guiness World Record set by a Volkswagen Amarok – using a modified V6 – after it crossed Australia's 10 deserts in six days and 17 hours. 'With the 10 Deserts Edition, the refinement of the Amarok has been given a tougher edge, offering genuine off-road ability and benchmark ground clearance, while still being a premium-appointed ute that drivers want to be in,' said Volkswagen Australia commercial vehicles product manager Michael Cenci. The 10 Deserts Edition brings off-road focused upgrades including 17-inch satin black wheels wrapped in Continental ATR (all-terrain) tyres, a 40mm suspension lift and extra underbody protection. The changes bring 275mm of ground clearance – 3mm more than the Ford Ranger Raptor and a healthy increase from the rest of the Amarok range's 235mm. A black sports bar, soft tonneau cover, floor mats and special decals complete the 10 Deserts Edition treatment. Other changes for the MY25 Amarok lineup include a 230V power socket in the tub of Style, PanAmericana and Aventura grades, facilitated by a 400W invertor that enables electrical appliances, laptops and battery packs to be plugged in. The same model grades also now come with Trailer Assist as standard, which Volkswagen says has been updated to work more seamlessly with the Amarok's Rear Traffic Alert system. There are no changes on the outside apart from a new Reed Green Metallic paint colour, which replaces Mid Blue Metallic on the Amarok colour chart. Cab/chassis Core, Life and Style variants are fitted with a factory alloy tray measuring 1900mm long and 1835mm wide, with a 1650mm internal length, for an additional $4000 over their pickup equivalents. A 243kg steel tray can also be added as a dealer-fit option instead of the alloy tray, which has an official weight of 132kg, and both tubs are covered by Volkswagen Australia's five-year, unlimited-kilometre new vehicle warranty.

MORE: Everything Volkswagen Amarok Content originally sourced from: Pricing for the Volkswagen Amarok 10 Deserts Edition has been announced along with national drive-away pricing across the updated MY25 Volkswagen Amarok dual-cab ute lineup, bringing the cost of every variant down. The entry-level Amarok Core TDI405 Core is now priced at $55,990 drive-away – $1000 more than its previous list price which did not include on-road costs, effectively making it up to $4000 cheaper than before. The biggest cut, as predicted by CarExpert, has been applied to the only petrol model grade, the Amarok TSI452 Aventura, which now costs $79,990 drive-away (previously $82,990 plus on-roads).

The limited-edition 10 Deserts Edition TDI500 joins the lineup at $69,990 drive-away, positioned between the Amarok Life TDI500 ($61,990 drive-away) and the Style TDI500 ($72,740 drive-away). The new model grade was inspired by the Guiness World Record set by a Volkswagen Amarok – using a modified V6 – after it crossed Australia's 10 deserts in six days and 17 hours. "With the 10 Deserts Edition, the refinement of the Amarok has been given a tougher edge, offering genuine off-road ability and benchmark ground clearance, while still being a premium-appointed ute that drivers want to be in," said Volkswagen Australia commercial vehicles product manager Michael Cenci. The 10 Deserts Edition brings off-road focused upgrades including 17-inch satin black wheels wrapped in Continental ATR (all-terrain) tyres, a 40mm suspension lift and extra underbody protection. The changes bring 275mm of ground clearance – 3mm more than the Ford Ranger Raptor and a healthy increase from the rest of the Amarok range's 235mm. A black sports bar, soft tonneau cover, floor mats and special decals complete the 10 Deserts Edition treatment. Other changes for the MY25 Amarok lineup include a 230V power socket in the tub of Style, PanAmericana and Aventura grades, facilitated by a 400W invertor that enables electrical appliances, laptops and battery packs to be plugged in. The same model grades also now come with Trailer Assist as standard, which Volkswagen says has been updated to work more seamlessly with the Amarok's Rear Traffic Alert system. There are no changes on the outside apart from a new Reed Green Metallic paint colour, which replaces Mid Blue Metallic on the Amarok colour chart. Cab/chassis Core, Life and Style variants are fitted with a factory alloy tray measuring 1900mm long and 1835mm wide, with a 1650mm internal length, for an additional $4000 over their pickup equivalents. A 243kg steel tray can also be added as a dealer-fit option instead of the alloy tray, which has an official weight of 132kg, and both tubs are covered by Volkswagen Australia's five-year, unlimited-kilometre new vehicle warranty.
