A VW Amarok with LED running lights was recently spied by Carscoops while it was being tested in Europe. Does this mean that Volkswagen is preparing to launch a facelift of its bakkie?

The Amarok has been around since 2010, and it is yet to receive a proper facelift. Sure, a couple of changes and additions have been made to the specifications list over the years, but no major changes have been made.

Is this about to change? The spies at Carscoops have spotted an Amarok fitted with LED running lights in Europe, which is definitely not available on the vehicle at the moment. That said, however, the LED lights are the only visible difference between this test mule and the current production model, so it is entirely possible, even probable, that the LEDs will merely be a solitary addition to the current vehicle. Let’s hope, though, that the addition of these lights will form part of a greater overall update, giving the Amarok a proper facelift.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
