The TDI500 engine is a 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel producing 154kW and 500Nm, paired with a 10-speed automatic and 4MOTION all-wheel drive with selectable 2H, 4H, 4L, and 4A modes. Low-range gearing is standard across the 4WD range. Buyers wanting more grunt can step to the TDI600 V6, which produces 184kW and 600Nm in the same Style specification.
Verdict: A well-rounded diesel powertrain with genuine all-terrain capability and a V6 upgrade path within the grade.
The 2025 Volkswagen Amarok Style is rated to 3,500kg braked towing across all 4WD variants, with low-range gearing standard to assist weight management on inclines. The MY25 update adds Trailer Assist, a semi-automated system to simplify reversing with a trailer attached. Payload sits at 956kg.
Verdict: A class-competitive tow rating supported by genuinely useful MY25 trailer technology
The TDI500 carries a claimed 7.2L/100km combined under ADR testing, which is competitive for a full-size diesel 4WD ute. The 80-litre tank delivers theoretical range well above 1,000km, making it a practical choice for long regional hauls. Real-world figures will rise with heavy loads or sustained towing, as with any vehicle in this class.
Verdict: Solid ADR claimed economy for the segment, with a large tank to reduce stop frequency on longer hauls.
The 2025 Volkswagen Amarok Style steps up to a 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 12-inch digital instrument cluster. Heated leather front seats, a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat, wireless charging, and a 360-degree area view camera are all standard. The MY25 update adds a 230-volt outlet and 400W inverter in the rear of the centre console and in the tub.
Verdict: A genuinely premium dual-cab interior with practical MY25 additions that suit both worksite and weekend use.
At 5,350mm long and 1,910mm wide, the 2025 Volkswagen Amarok Style has a strong on-road presence. The European design language differentiates it clearly from Japanese and domestic competitors. The Style rides on 18-inch alloy wheels, with full LED lighting standard. The wide load tub measures 1,544mm long with 1,224mm between the wheel arches.
Verdict: A distinctive, well-proportioned dual-cab with a premium finish that sets it apart in tradie car parks.

The Amarok range is backed by a 5-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty and a capped-price servicing programme, with scheduled maintenance required every 12 months or 15,000km. Volkswagen also offers a five-year service plan, helping owners manage ongoing maintenance costs with greater certainty over the ownership period.
Verdict: The Amarok stands out for its premium interior, comprehensive safety technology, strong towing capability, and generous warranty coverage. Buyers should also consider alternatives such as the Ford Ranger XLT to determine which ute best suits their needs and preferences.
The 2025 Volkswagen Amarok Style makes a strong case for buyers who want a full-size dual-cab ute with genuine towing capability and a premium cabin. The 3,500kg towing capacity, comprehensive active safety suite, and refined interior help set it apart from many traditional work-focused utes. Backed by a 5-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty and capped-price servicing, the Amarok offers added peace of mind for long-term ownership.
