The face lifted Volkswagen Scirocco has gone on sale priced from £20,455 for the entry level 1.4-litre TSI 125 PS manual, rising to £33,795 for the 2.0-litre TSI 280 PS Scirocco R.
Revisions include new head and LED tail lights, with new bumpers featuring aerodynamic ‘blades’ in the outer section, similar to the Golf GTI, with integrated indicator lights, daytime running lights and fog lights. On models with (optional) bi-xenon headlights, the daytime running lights are LEDs within the main headlights.
There are new alloy wheel designs across the range include new 19-inch ‘Cadiz’ alloys for the Scirocco R model.
The dashboard has been revised with new dials and a retro inspired auxiliary instrument cluster above the centre console, consisting of chronometer, charge pressure and oil temperature gauges, like the first generation 1970’s Scirocco.
There is a choice of six new turbocharged direct-injection petrol and diesel engines, all of which meet EU6 emissions. Excluding the ‘R’ edition all are equipped with BlueMotion Stop/Start and brake energy recuperation systems.
