R599,000 to R1,105,000.<\/p>\n<p>The Captur is the first of five new vehicles the french carmaker plans to launch in South Africa in 2023, including an updated Duster and Koleos SUVs, an all-new Megane R.S.300, and the new Oroch bakkie.<\/p>\n<p>While the 12 variants of the VW Amarok are only available as a double-cap, the company assured that single-cab styles are also coming, but they are only due to arrive in the second quarter of the year, with the pricing and model line-up to be announced closer to the time, reported <a href=\"https:\/\/topauto.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\"

headlights with daytime running lights, rain-sensing wipers, climate control, a multifunction steering wheel, front and rear parking sensors, a reverse camera, hill-start assist, cruise control, and
