The Volkswagen Amarok W580X is probably the lastoftheline firstgeneration Amarok, showing us everything VW and Australian firm Walkinshaw can do before the new 2023 Amarok, based on the new Ford Ranger, arrives in this country.

Unlike the roadfocussed Amarok W580S I reviewed last year, the 2022 Amarok W580X is designed to take you further off the beaten track. A range of changes have been made, including reinforcements of the undertray, a breather kit for more peace of mind when crossing water, a more aggressive wheel and tyre package, and a range of aesthetic changes.

The Amarok W580X is powered by Volkswagen’s 3.0litre diesel V6, which makes 190kW of power (254 hp) and 580Nm of torque. It competes with the Ford Ranger Raptor, Toyota HiLux Rugged X, Mazda BT50 Thunder, and Nissan Navara Warrior.
