2025 Volkswagen Amarok ute bringing cheaper petrol option
The 2025 Volkswagen Amarok TSI452 Aventura – the only petrol-powered variant in the German brand's dual-cab 4×4 ute lineup – will become cheaper as part of a range-wide MY25 upgrade coming soon. Currently priced in line with the TDI600 Aventura flagship at $82,990 before on-road costs, the MY25 TSI452 Aventura will be repositioned $3000 lower at $79,990 plus on-roads, in the otherwise all-diesel Amarok lineup. That will make the TSI452, which comes with a Ford Mustang-sourced 2.3-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine producing 222kW of power and 452Nm of torque, just $1000 more expensive than the TDI600 PanAmericana ($78,990 plus on-roads) powered by a 184kW/600Nm 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel.

MY24 Volkswagen Amarok TSI452 Aventura Credit: CarExpert There are no other price changes for the updated MY25 Amarok range, pricing for which appeared in some industry price lists earlier this month. MY25 Volkswagen Amarok dual-cab pricing (before on-road costs) is as follows: However, CarExpert understands the new TDI500 10 Deserts Edition, pricing for which was previously announced at $68,490 before on-roads, will receive a much sharper permanent national drive-away price. Full specification details will be announced by Volkswagen Australia in the coming weeks ahead of first customer deliveries. Supplied Credit: CarExpert 'The Amarok Aventura TSI452 is the best handling driver's ute in the market, and we know there is more opportunity for it in Australia,' said the acting general manager of corporate communications at Volkswagen Group Australia, Daniel DeGasperi. 'The Amarok has been a 'V6 diesel' leader for several years, and we are taking on an opportunity to position the 2.3-litre turbo-petrol Aventura in between the PanAmericana TDI600 and Aventura TDI600. 'We'll confirm exact updates and pricing in due course, but for now the MY24 TSI452 can be purchased for $79,990 drive away while stocks last – a significant saving on the usual $82,990 plus on-road costs manufacturer's recommended retail price.' Last month Volkswagen announced drive-away deals on MY24-plated Amarok variants until the end of June, amounting to a discount of over $6000 for the base Core TDI405 and discounts of up to $9000 for high-grade Aventura and PanAmericana vehicles. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Until June 30, the MY24 Amarok Core is available for $53,990 drive-away, the MY24 TDI500 Life from $59,490 drive-away, the MY23 TDI500 Style from $66,990 drive-away, the MY24 TDI500 Style from $69,740 drive-away, the MY24 TDI600 Style from $73,740 drive-away, the MY24 TDI600 PanAmericana from $76,990 drive-away, and both the MY24 Aventura TSI452 and TDI600 from $79,990 drive-away. Prior to that in February, Volkswagen applied similar drive-away deals to MY23 and MY24 examples of its most popular Amarok Style variants. Until March 31, MY23 Style vehicles were offered with nationwide drive-away pricing of $66,990 for the TDI500 and $70,990 for the TDI600, while MY24 Style utes were available for $69,740 drive-away (TDI500) and $73,740 drive-away (TDI600). And based on a Sydney postcode, the Amarok Aventura TSI452 and TDI600 were both priced from $90,677 drive-away, and the TSI452 was also offered with an additional $3000 discount until the end of March. Volkswagen Amarok TDI500 10 Deserts Edition Credit: CarExpert At the time, Volkswagen Australia said it had strong supply of the most expensive PanAmericana and Aventura variants for the first time since the second-generation Amarok's launch in 2023, and both Aventuras were also offered with a 3.99 per cent per annum comparison rate when purchased via Volkswagen Choice finance. Entry-level Core and Life grades were also offered with what were described as a 'large fleet discount' for ABN holders. It remains to be seen whether similar incentives will be offered for the MY25 Amarok range, or whether the TSI452 variant's lower, now sub-$80,000 list price will eventually also become a drive-away price. Last year, Volkswagen sold 8400 Amaroks in Australia, up 26.8 per cent on the previous year, making it the German brand's best-seller ahead of the T-Roc small SUV (7777 sales). However, Amarok sales declined by almost 36 per cent in the first quarter of this year, when just 1429 examples were sold – a drop in the ocean compared to 13,226 deliveries of its top-selling Ford Ranger cousin in the same period. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Volkswagen Australia acknowledged that the takeup rate of just five per cent for the single high-spec TSI452 variant was lower than expected, but says it's happy with the sales performance of its Ranger-based ute overall. 'The new-generation Amarok last year successfully lifted Volkswagen's ute sales performance to a level not seen in the preceding half decade, and the Amarok will continue to go from strength to strength with MY25 upgrades followed by the next generation Walkinshaw in 2026,' said Mr DeGasperi. There is no update on a plug-in hybrid version of the Amarok, based on the newly launched Ranger PHEV which is produced in South Africa (rather than Thailand) alongside all Australian versions of the Amarok.

Ford's reveals Super Duty pricing
Ford has locked in heavy-duty prices for the 2025 Ford Ranger Super Duty, a heavy-duty variant of its best selling dual-cab ute. Prices start from $82,990 plus onroad costs for the Single Cab-Chassis variant, with the Super Cab-Chassis priced at $86,490, and the Double Cab-Chassis at $89,990 plus on-roads. Those figures will climb close to $100,000 once you add a tray and metallic paint. It's also one of the most capable Rangers, with a 4500kg Gross Vehicle Mass, a braked towing capacity of 4500kg, and a massive 8000kg Gross Combined Mass when towing. Despite the truck-like specs, this beast can be driven on a standard car license. Payload varies from 1982kg for Single-Cab Chassis, 1896kg for Super Cab-Chassis and 1825kg for the Double Cab-Chassis. Ford Australia President and chief executive Andrew Birkic said customers have been asking for a truck that can handle Australia's tough terrain and most extreme jobs. 'With its incredible towing, payload, and GCM capabilities, Ranger Super Duty is built to exceed those expectations. We're providing hardworking Australians the tools they need to succeed,' he said. Re-worked from the ground up, the Super Duty is a re-engineered chassis with upgraded axles, reinforced suspension, control arms, and a heavy-duty braking system. A 10-speed auto transmission is paired with Ford's 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel, carried over from the Ranger models, but with a new calibration to meet European heavy-duty emissions standards and the addition of AdBlue. Power is less than the V6 Ranger at 154kW (the V6 Ranger has 184kW), while torque is on par at 600Nm. Ford says the reduced power figure stems from the need to comply with stringent heavy-duty truck emissions standards, and that other V6 odels will not be detuned. Despite the lower power output, the Super Duty just outmuscles the Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series, whose V8 diesel makes just 151kW/500Nm and has a maximum towing capacity of 3500kg. The Ram 1500 is more powerful but offers less in terms of payload capacity (830kg-879kg pending model). Its ground clearance (299mm), track (1710mm) and water wading (850mm) is on par with rivals. However, Ford has added smart technology, unlike anything seen in current competitors. For instance, its Smart Hitch system which measures tow ball weight to optimise load distribution, reduces sway risk, while on-board digital scales help ensure payloads stay safe. The exterior design is tough with a stamped 'Super Duty' badge, a redesigned grille resembling floating brick pattern, geometric flared guards, heavy-duty steel bumpers and 33-inch General Gabber all-terrains with 8-stud wheels. That rugged feeling continues inside, with vinyl-trimmed interiors designed for durability, a dock for laptops or screens, and a practical layout for workers. Three Ford Licensed Accessory tray options are available - galvanised, matte black and body-coloured steel, ranging from $5,966 to $9,376 depending on configuration and finish. Body-coloured tray prices will vary depending on the paint colour. The price will climb when you select paint colour, all colours aside from Arctic White are considered prestige paint colours and will be available at an additional cost. New exterior colours include Seismic Tan, Shadow Black and Aluminium Metallic. A favourite, Traction Green, will be available later in 2026.
