We test the Volkswagen Amarok 580TDI to see if this ute is still worth your money.

It might be due for replacement in 2023, but the Volkswagen Amarok is still one of the better utes on the market if a premium engine and presentable interior are your priorities. Today, Sam Young tests the 2022 Volkswagen Amarok 580TDI Highline for Chasing Cars, focussing on this vehicle’s off-road ability.
Priced at $63,490 in Highline trim, Is it still worth buying an Amarok now, or should you wait for the new Ford Ranger V6 diesel - or the next-generation Amarok that will share the T6.2 Ranger platform?
Notably, the 190kW (254 hp) 3.0L V6 used in the current Amarok will not be carried over. The 2023 Amarok will use Ford’s Lion V6 diesel engine.
The VW Amarok competes with the Toyota HiLux, Ford Ranger, Nissan Navara, Mitsubishi Triton and other dual-cab utes.

    Sam knows about utes as he is mechanical mind. When you back with 4wd Acton in your weapon mate? VW should have been in front of the other brands years ago but chose to stick with old technology hence compromising their amarok brand. Hopefully new one will be a weapon. Good to see you Sam. Keep going mate

    I agree, the less electronics the better imo as it will outlast pretty much everything else that has full electronics. I bought an Aventura due to better seats etc as i will want to own this car as long as possible. It's going to be a daily + fishing and camping ute for my self as it's the only car i can get with decent power and RWD/AWD that i can fit in at 6'3.

    I agree. Lane departure and all the other stuff is unnecessary. It’s a ute. I have had all that stuff in all my other cars. Toooo many beeps, flashing lights, bells and chimes that completely annoy the hell out of me. I have a 580 Ultimate package which I love. Eats the beach and is more than adequate off road.

    Such a disappointing car. I love VW, have a golf and loved driving the amarock when it first released, but it has been a long time since the release and still not enough has changed to get the juices flowing. In my opinion, it appears as though the entire Amarock line is just an afterthought for VW.
