Which is better, Nissan Navara or VW Amarok?
The Navara is very comfortable and plenty power, and not to high tech. The Amarok is a better bakkie but if something goes wrong be prepared to sell your house to pay for it, If you were buying a new one, I would say the Amarok, as it is covered under Warranty. But you are not so definitely go for the Navara. Verdict. If you’re buying a truck for serious off-road use, both of these will serve you admirably. However, the Navara is the only one with meaningful mechanical upgrades over its standard model – the L200’s changes are mainly cosmetic, short of those chunky off-road tyres.The Navara is often praised for its better on-road handling and comfort, attributed to its multi-link rear suspension, which delivers a smoother ride compared to the Hilux’s traditional leaf spring setup.
Is Amarok better than Ranger?
The Amarok Style is the nicer package overall at this price point – lovely cabin, better-equipped in some key areas, but missing the V6 which is the superior diesel engine. That swings the needle back to the Ranger Sport. There is currently a choice of two engines in the Amarok, both diesel Ford engines manufactured in the UK and shipped out: the 205 hp four-cylinder and the 236 hp V6. The previous Amarok was fitted with VW engines and the V6 was very popular.A major difference between the two variants is that the engine in the Amarok Core is the single-turbo 125kW/405Nm TDI405 version of the Ford-manufactured four-cylinder mill, backed by a six-speed automatic transmission, while the Amarok Life has a bi-turbo 154kW/500Nm TDI500 diesel that shares its 10-speed automatic .The Amarok shares its ladder-frame chassis, suspension, and powerplants with the Ranger, but is priced and positioned above it. A single-cab Amarok is offered in some markets, but only the double cab is sold in Europe, where we drove an Amarok (in England).For the previous-generation Amarok, servicing costs totalled $2000 for four-cylinder diesel versions, while V6 diesel variants were $200 more expensive over five years at $2200, however, all 2023 Amaroks now have a capped price total of $1800 regardless of the variant or drivetrain.
