In our Every bakkie confirmed for SA in 2026 feature, we noted the Volkswagen Amarok Dark Label is scheduled 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 former, four-cylinder 2.0-litre turbodiesel unit produces 125 kW and 405 N.m of torque, while the latter, 3.0-litre V6 turbocharged oil-burner churns out 184 kW and 600 N.m. Both engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel drivetrain.

But what does Dark Label spec include? Well, for starters, Dark Label grade gains black trim finishes for several exterior items – the latter including the front bumper, wing mirror housings and the door handles. The package further includes black sidesteps. The taillamp housings have been darkened. ‘Dark Label’ decals are also present. The Amarok Dark Label is equipped with a set of 20-inch alloy wheels, shod in 255/55-size tyres, finished in matte charcoal paintwork.
