Volkswagen Australia has announced pricing and specifications for the updated MY25 Volkswagen Amarok ute, which starts at an unchanged $55,490 plus on-road costs.

As well as new standard features, the Amarok range has added a new optionally-available cab chassis tray on Core, Life and Style models and a new 10 Deserts Edition that celebrates Volkswagen’s 2024 world record covering Australia’s 10 deserts.

The new Volkswagen Amarok 10 Deserts Edition is based on the second-from-bottom Life variant and adds a number of unique features.

Limited to 300 units, the Amarok 10 Deserts Edition adds a 40mm suspension lift, 17-inch black wheels with Continental all-terrain tyres, underbody protection, a black sports bar, soft tonneau cover, all-weather floor mats and 10 Deserts badging.

Priced from $68,490 plus on-road costs or $69,990 drive away, the 10 Deserts Edition is priced $9000 more than the Life TDI500 on which it’s based.

Elsewhere in the MY25 Volkswagen Amarok line-up, buyers can now order a cab chassis version of Core, Life and Style models with a 132kg steel tray now offered for an extra $4000, while a heavier-duty 243kg version is also available.

The trays measure 1900mm long on the outside and 1650mm long by 1835mm wide inside.

The Amarok Style, PanAmericana and Aventura have also added a pair of 230-volt outlets – one on the rear of the centre console and one in the tray – plus a 400V inverter to power electrical devices on the move.

The Style, PanAmericana and Aventura have also added a new ‘Trailer Assist’ feature, which will make connecting trailers easier, and the former ‘Mid Blue Metallic’ paint has been replaced by ‘Reed Green Metallic’.
