Car B

Volkswagen Amarok PanAmericana

The Amarok PanAmericana combines a torquey V6 diesel and 4WD with seating for five and a 1000 L cargo area, suiting road trips and cargo-heavy tasks. It’s efficient for its class with reassuring safety signals, but less compelling for city or winter-heavy driving.
