AutoExec Summary
A new look has been unveiled for the Volkswagen Amarok – except the facelift is for the original model, no longer on sale in Australia. While most international markets now offer the second-generation Amarok – based on the Ford Ranger ute – Volkswagen still sells the original model in South American markets. Volkswagen made the decision to continue to build the first-generation Amarok to ensure its Argentinian factory remained open. More than 740,000 first-generation Amarok utes have been produced, with the model making up almost 29 per cent of the segment in Argentina. The upgraded model is also expected to receive a host of safety updates, helping to ensure its viability into the 2030s.
