Volkswagen Amarok Prices in Argentina Hold Steady in September 2026

The Volkswagen Amarok has kept its place as Argentina's third-best-selling pickup, even as sales have fallen sharply. The model recorded 10,728 registrations during the first eight months of the year, a 41% decline from the same period last year, according to figures from the Association of Automotive Dealers of the Argentine Republic.

The most affordable Amarok now starts at 52,449,100 Argentine pesos. Volkswagen raised prices across the rest of its lineup by 1.5% this month, but the Amarok was the exception. Its versions kept the same list prices as the previous month, apart from the Trendline TDI MT 4x2, which rose by 1%.

The current model is approaching the end of its run in its existing form as Volkswagen prepares a new generation. Work has begun at the General Pacheco plant in Buenos Aires province as part of a $580 million investment to develop and produce a new pickup designed, developed and manufactured entirely in South America.

Volkswagen aims to start production in the first half of 2027, with a launch expected in March or April. The factory has been reconfigured for the project. The Taos has stopped being built at Pacheco and is now imported from Mexico, allowing the site to refocus on pickups and the future Amarok.

Volkswagen has confirmed that the next generation will be developed jointly with China's SAIC, its strategic partner for more than 40 years. The new vehicle will offer conventional and plug-in hybrid powertrains, use a body designed exclusively for Volkswagen and abandon the traditional separate-cab-and-bed architecture. Marcellus Puig, CEO of Volkswagen Group Argentina, said the vehicle would have strong local integration while retaining Volkswagen development, engineering and identity. The V6 engine will not be included.

“

It is local production with a very high level of integration. The vehicle is a Volkswagen with Volkswagen development, DNA and engineering, made together with our joint venture in China, our partner for 45 years.
