How much does a VW Amarok cost in South Africa?
The short answer
As of 14 November 2026, the median asking price for a used Volkswagen Amarok in South Africa is R 599 900, based on 1 906 live listings. Half of all VW Amaroks are priced between R 395 225 and R 839 900; entry-level examples start around R 228 950 and the top 10% ask R 1 049 900 or more.

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.
