We know price increases are pretty common (although they seem to be happening with increasing frequency these days). But when hikes are applied to a range that already contains South Africa’s most expensive bakkie barely four months after its local introduction, we take note.
Yes, Volkswagen SA has upped pricing on its facelifted Amarok line-up, with the range-topping V6-powered Extreme derivative now coming in at R763 600, up some R15 000 from the original R748 600 launch price revealed at the end of April.
The other 11 variants in the local range (which, it must be noted, no longer contains single-cab models) also each bear a slightly higher sticker price than before.
The entry-level 4×2 2,0 TDI in Comfortline trim with a manual gearbox, for instance, now costs R9 800 more at R497 500, while the cheapest V6 is up R13 300 to R679 000. The Highline Plus six-cylinder, meanwhile, is now R14 300 more expensive at R730 900.
