Volkswagen has announced a new
entry-level specification and
two additional engines for the
Scirocco coupé, which are now
available for ordering from
Volkswagen Retailers. Prices
for the entry-level model,
fitted with a 1.4-litre TSI 160
PS engine, start at £18,790 RRP
on the road, opening the
possibility of Scirocco
ownership to a wider audience.
At
launch in September, the
Scirocco was only available in
range-topping GT trim. The new
engines are now available in
base trim which still benefits
from a comprehensive list of
standard equipment including a
six-CD autochanger, rain and
dusk sensor, multifunction
computer, air conditioning and
exclusive 17-inch ‘Donington’
alloy wheels. Safety features
also, of course, remain a
priority, with ABS, ESP and six
airbags all standard.
The 1.4-litre TSI 160 PS engine
accelerates the Scirocco from 0
to 62 mph in just 8.0 seconds
while returning 42.8 mpg
(combined) and emitting 154 g/km
of CO2. In addition,
the new entry-level and GT
models are now available with
Volkswagen’s popular 2.0-litre
TDI 140 PS common rail diesel
engine linked to either a
six-speed manual or six-speed
automatic DSG gearbox. Both
manual and DSG versions reach 62
mph in 9.3 seconds while
achieving a combined figure of
55.4 mpg (51.4 for DSG) and 134
g/km of CO2 (145 for
DSG).
