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.

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.

Amarok Vs Ranger: Performance Comparison

Is It Worth It?

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Brazil went to China to seek money and technology to reinvent TV and bring the internet to places where fiber does not reach. The mission negotiated with the BRICS Bank led by Dilma and paved the way for a Chinese rival of Starlink to connect the Amazon.

About 150 workers are driving, one by one, 4,585 BYD electric cars off a 220-meter ship at the Port of Itajaí. The 48-hour mega-operation is the largest shipment from the Chinese automaker in Santa Catarina this year.

Iceland is going to lower a drill five kilometers to reach rock at 400 degrees and try to extract clean energy on a scale that a common well cannot achieve.

At the bottom of the South Pole ice, the IceCube observatory drilled more than a kilometer and a half of ice to hunt ghost particles and test whether gravity obeys the rules of quantum physics.
