The Volkswagen Amarok V6’s fuel consumption varies depending on the specific model, engine output, and driving conditions. Official combined fuel economy figures for the 3.0-litre V6 TDI engines generally range from 8.9 to 9.0 litres per 100km (approximately 28.2mpg)[2][6]. In real-world testing, some users have reported achieving a combined fuel consumption figure closer to 9.2L/100km[4].
