Amarok generations, briefly
Amarok (2H) 4-cylinder · 2010 to 2022
Amarok (2H) 3.0 V6 TDI · 2017 to 2022
Amarok (2nd gen) · 2023 onward
Buying notes
- V6 vs four-cylinder is the whole story on first-gen pricing, expect a six-figure gap at the same year and mileage.
- Dark Label and Extreme editions sit at the top of the cohort; standard Highline V6s are where the value is.
- Second-gen Amaroks price above the equivalent Ranger, compare the two model cohorts before paying the badge premium.
