The big question people will want answered - is this a better ute than the Ford Ranger that it's based on?

In some ways, yes it is. But in others? Not so much.

The fact there's no properly hardcore Ford Ranger Raptor rival in the 2023 Volkswagen Amarok range means it mightn't have the headline-grabbing attraction of the other ute, but it does have a different engine option - a top-spec model with a 2.3-litre turbo-petrol engine - as well as V6 diesel across multiple grades.

All models are double cab / dual cab, and all are 4x4 / 4WD. So it hits the market where right in the bullseye. But with prices north of $50K for the base model, is it too expensive? And does it justify the cost?

You might be surprised! Watch and find out for yourself.

I am aiming to review every new car on the market that people actually buy, to help new-car customers like you, or curious car enthusiasts (maybe also like you) get the right steer when it comes to choosing a new set of wheels.

If you're looking for a car for yourself, monitoring the market and hunting for the latest info, or even if you've just bought your new car and you're looking to see what experts like me think about it, The Right Car will offer you something of value.
