The Battle For The Title Of Best Diesel V6 Pickup Heated Up In 2025 With The Arrival Of The New Volkswagen Amarok 2025 Highline Version. For A Long Time, It Dominated The Market Almost Alone, But The Competition From Ford Ranger Brought New Challenges. The Facelift Of The Amarok Brought Pointed Updates, But Is That Enough To Keep It Relevant?
The Volkswagen Amarok 2025 Highline Version Retains The 3.0 V6 Turbo Diesel Engine, Now Adjusted To Generate 272 Hp With Overboost, Making The Maximum Power Available At The Pedal For Those Who Enjoy Performance. Despite This, The Torque Of 59.1 Kgfm Lags Slightly Behind That Offered By The Competing Ford Ranger.
The 4Motion All-Wheel Drive System, Inherited From Audi, Ensures Exemplary Handling, Especially On Curves And Roads. However, There Are Criticisms Of The Conservative Design And Lack Of Innovation In The Interior, Which, Even With Comfortable Seats And Power Adjustments, Is Simple For The Price Of R$ 328 Thousand.
Amarok Vs Ranger: Performance Comparison

The Ford Ranger V6 Arrives To Rival Directly With The Amarok. The Performance From 0 To 100 Km/h Favors The Ranger, Which Records 7.9 Seconds Against The 8 Seconds Of The Amarok.

Despite This, The Amarok Excels In Curves And The Feeling Of Control Behind The Wheel. Both Have Very Similar Prices: The Ranger V6 Limited Costs R$ 326 Thousand, And The Entry-Level V6 Stays Around R$ 295 Thousand.
In Terms Of Technology, The Ranger Delivers More: Adaptive Cruise Control, A More Modern Digital Dashboard, And More Interior Space. The Amarok, On The Other Hand, Falls Short By Keeping A Steering Wheel Similar To That Of The Gol And A Multimedia Center Without Great Differentials, Despite Offering An Excellent Air Conditioning System.
Is It Worth It?
The Volkswagen Amarok 2025 Highline Version Remains An Excellent Choice For Those Prioritizing Sports Performance And Precise Handling. However, With The Arrival Of The Ford Ranger, It Is Impossible To Ignore That The Market Now Offers More For The Same Price.
If The Amarok Still Reigns Depends On What You Value: If It Is The Joy Of Driving, It Is Still One Of The Best Pickups. But In Terms Of Modernity And Cost-Effectiveness, The Ranger Seems To Have Taken The Throne.
What Do You Think? Can The Amarok Regain Its Space, Or Is The Reign Of The Ford Ranger Inevitable?
