The VW Amarok 3.0 V6 diesel, equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission, has an official combined fuel consumption of up to 28 mpg (8.4L/100km) according to Volkswagen[1][2][3]. This figure applies across the Style, PanAmericana, and Aventura trims[1][2].
Real-world driving typically delivers slightly lower or similar results; owners and long-term tests report averages between 27.1 to 29.4 mpg for recent models[1][3]. For comparison, during a group test, the Amarok Style 3.0 V6 averaged 28.3 mpg[2].
Factors affecting actual fuel consumption include driving style, load, terrain, and usage conditions. Heavier towing, urban driving, and off-road use generally yield lower fuel economy than highway cruising.
- Official figure: 28 mpg (8.4L/100km) combined[1][2][3]
- Owner/test averages: 27.1 – 29.4 mpg[1][3]
- Engine specs: 3.0L V6 TDI, 237–240hp, 600Nm torque[2][3]
- CO2 emissions: up to 265 g/km (range topping Amarok Aventura)[2][3]
Compared to competitors, the Amarok’s 3.0 V6 is above average in its segment for combined fuel economy, outperforming similar large-displacement diesel engines in models like the Ford Ranger 3.2 TDCi and Mercedes-Benz X350D[1].
