Volkswagen Amarok Review: Buy a better bakkie! - Performance

Performance

Being VW, they have made the Amarok Single Cab bakkie available with a couple of different engine options. There is a petrol variant, a 2.0-litre 118kW engine producing 300Nm of torque. Then there are the 2 (more popular) diesel versions. Both are 2.0-litre engines, one is a single turbo and the other is a Bi-Turbo. The single turbo produces 90kW and 240Nm or torque. The Bi-Turbo gives you 120kW and 400Nm of torque, and that’s the one you’ll want if you’re buying. It also happens to be the one we tested.
