In our “Every bakkie confirmed for SA in 2026” feature, we noted the Volkswagen Amarok Dark Label was set to arrive on South African shores this year. Now, we can confirm pricing for this special-edition VW bakkie (see pricing below).
The Amarok Dark Label can be had with the choice of two powertrain options: 2.0TDI and 3.0TDI. The 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel produces 125 kW and 405 N.m of torque, while the 3.0-litre V6 turbocharged diesel delivers 184 kW and 600 N.m. Both engines come with a 10-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel drivetrain.
But what does Dark Label spec include? For starters, Dark Label grade gets black trim finishes on several exterior items – including the front bumper, wing mirror housings and door handles. The package also includes black sidesteps. The taillamp housings are darkened, and there are ‘Dark Label’ decals. The Amarok Dark Label rolls on 20-inch alloy wheels with 255/55 tyres, finished in matte charcoal paint.
