Next-gen VW Amarok (for South America) to be based on a Chinese bakkie

• The next-generation VW Amarok for South America will be based on a Chinese bakkie from SAIC Motor.
• The new Amarok will be built at VW's Argentina-based production plant and will feature a 2.5-litre, four-cylinder turbodiesel engine.
• The platform's potential for an Amarok-based SUV remains unconfirmed, but it's unlikely to be introduced to South Africa.
