The new entry level Scirocco still comes with a decent amount of standard equipment including a six disc CD changer, air conditioning, 17” alloy wheels, and adaptive chassis control. Prices start at 18,790£ for the 1.4L TSI and climb to 21,770£ for the Scirocco GT with the 2.0L TDI and DSG, a full pricing breakdown can be seen in the press release below.
Powering the entry level model is a 1.4L TSI engine with 160 PS, which enables it to run from 0-62 mph in 8 seconds and return 42.8 mpg. Newly available on both the Scirocco and Scirocco GT is a 2.0L TDI engine which produces 140 PS and allows them to reach 62 mph in 9.3 seconds. Fuel economy in the combined cycle for the TDI is 55.4 mpg with a six speed manual and 51.4 mpg when equipped with DSG.
When introducing a new sports car, virtually every automotive company has a similar game plan. Build up the hype by introducing a great looking mid-level performance model, follow up with an entry level destined to be the sales leader, and after a few years introduce an all out performance model to keep up consumer interest. So it comes as little surprise that Volkswagen has announced a new entry level Scirocco for the UK, right on the heels of the recently launched Scirocco GT.
