By Volkswagen Australia has announced a range of updates for the 2025 Amarok lineup, including lower prices across the dual-cab 4×4 range and the addition of the brand-new 10 Deserts Edition, alongside new cab/chassis configurations.
The most affordable model in the lineup, the Amarok Core TDI405, is now priced at $55,990 drive-away. Compared to previous pricing, this means customers can now save up to $4000, making it one of the most competitively priced Amarok models available in the market today. Automotive experts have pointed out that this new price point represents a strong overall value for the segment, a sentiment echoed by several analyst platforms, including car.news.
Another key highlight is the price drop for the Amarok Aventura TSI452 – now available for $79,990 drive-away, down from $82,990. This is the only petrol-powered model in the range, making it an appealing option for drivers looking for a more dynamic and responsive ride.
The “10 Deserts Edition” — Built for the Extreme
