VW introduces updated Scirocco in 2015


Volkswagen will introduce an updated Scirocco model in 2015.

VWSA said in a statement Wednesday that the "new Scirocco ... has been refreshed with new exterior and interior designs."

"Externally, the new Scirocco's shape has been refined and modernised with new headlights and tail lights, as well as revised bumper styling. The revised front bumper features aerodynamic 'blades' in the outer section, like those on the latest-generation Golf GTI, with integrated indicator lights, daytime running lights and fog lights. On models with (optional - standard in Scirocco R) bi-xenon headlights, the daytime running lights are LEDs within the main headlights."

"Inside, the dashboard has been updated, with new-look dials and an auxiliary instrument cluster above the centre console, consisting of a chronometer and charge pressure and oil temperature gauges - a tribute to the 1974 model," VWSA said,

The engine line-up remains unchanged though.

"The new Scirocco is offered with the choice of three TSI engines, namely 1.4 TSI 118kW, 2.0 TSI 155kW and 2.0 TSI 188kW. (Scirocco R). The 1.4 TSI is available with 6-speed manual transmission whilst the 2.0 TSI engines come standard with 6-speed DSG transmission."

VWSA said the Scirocco R accelerates to 100 km/h in just 5.8 seconds with a top speed electronically limited to 250 km/h.

Prices (VAT and emissions tax included)
1.4 TSI 118kW Highline Manual R355 200
2.0 TSI 155kW Sportline DSG R419 100
2.0 TSI 188kW R DSG R489 300
