Volkswagen Amarok Base
Car A
Volkswagen Amarok Base
With 4WD, 500 Nm of torque and a 1280 L cargo area, the Amarok Base suits cargo-heavy work and long road trips for up to five. It’s efficient for its class (combined 8.5), but modest pace and weaker suitability for city and winter driving limit appeal.

Car B
Volkswagen Caddy Maxi III
Efficient for its class and tailored to family hauling, the Volkswagen Caddy Maxi III combines a 5.5 L/100 km diesel with 750 liters of cargo space and five seats. A sensible fit for growing families and road trips if outright speed or a premium experience are not priorities.
