From next year, the Volkswagen
Scirocco will be available to
order with an efficient new
entry-level engine. From 4
January 2010, it will be
possible to order the two-door
compact coupé with the 1.4-litre
TSI 122 PS engine, with prices
starting at £18,860 RRP on the
road.
The 1.4-litre TSI 122 PS unit
develops 147 lbs ft of torque
channelled via a six-speed
manual gearbox, through the
front wheels. Acceleration from
0 to 62 mph takes 9.7 seconds
before reaching a top speed of
124 mph.
Thanks in part to the engine’s
small capacity, the Scirocco
returns a healthy combined
economy figure of 44.1 mpg and
CO2 emissions of 146 g/km,
making it the cleanest petrol
model in the range.
The new entry-level model
benefits from a comprehensive
list of standard equipment
including a six-CD autochanger
with iPod preparation, rain and
dusk sensors, a multifunction
computer, air conditioning and
17-inch ‘Donington’ alloy wheels
as well as a host of safety
features including ABS, ESP
(Electronic Stabilisation
Programme) and six airbags.
Adaptive Chassis Control (ACC)
is also available on this model
as a £765 option.
Volkswagen has also announced a
new optional styling pack
available on Scirocco GT models
for the New Year. The new
‘Lugano Black’ package comprises
10-spoke 19-inch ‘Lugano’ alloy
wheels finished in gloss black
with additional Piano Black
decorative inserts throughout
the cabin, and costs £950.
