Volkswagen Scirocco 2014
Exactly 40 years after the debut of the original Scirocco at the Geneva motor Show will be Volkswagen next month, the renewed variant present. However, there is already a disadvantage for the Dutch interested parties…

Facelift

Volkswagen has the Golf Coupe a new front and back, with a complete herdesign for the bumpers. Also new are the headlights with optional bi-xenon. At the bottom of the lamps is an LED strip placed which is to serve as daytime running lights, the taillights are standard LED-copies. The front falls further on that there are horizontal blades á la Golf GTI are applied. At the back they have the logo on the tailgate, a new function is given, namely, that of the portierklink.

The R-variant of the Scirocco is also of the party, with a front that matches the Golf R. He is further distinguished by its black brake calipers, matte, mirror covers, 19-inch wheels (standard, the Scirocco on 17 or 18 inch) and a few R badges. And, of course, by his air tubes, side skirts, and diffuser in the ass.

In the interior are the changes (before, after). There is a new instrument panel and placed on top of the dashboard there are now three bells that the temperature of the oil, stopwatchtijd and boost pressure.

Four petrol engines and two diesels

Volkswagen beats his breast and shouts that the blocks are more fuel-efficient become – to 19 percent – while the power went up. The line-up consists of merely viercilinders, all of which are equipped with a start/stop system and linking it to Volkswagen’s dual clutch transmission: the DSG gearbox. Here they are, with the Scirocco R with 280 hp as a topper:

1.4 TSI: 125 hp (+ 3 hp); 5,4 l/100 km / 125 g/km of CO2.
2.0 TSI: 180 ps (+ 20 ps); 6.0 l/100 km / 139 g/km of CO2.
2.0 TSI: 220 Hp (+ 10 ps); 6.0 l/100 km / 139 g/km of CO2.
2.0 TSI: 280 hp (+ 15 ps); 8.0 litres/100 km / 187 g/km of CO2.
2.0 TDI: 150 ps (+ 10 ps); 4.1 l/100 km / 107 g/km of CO2.
2.0 TDI: 184 ps (+ 7 ps); 4.3 l/100 km / 111 g/km of CO2.

And then the downside: he comes not to the Netherlands. PON has decided to put the Scirocco after the verkoopstop in 2012. “We saw the Scirocco in ever-smaller numbers of sales,” said a spokesman. “The segment of the compact coupé is the latest few years become much smaller.”

Fortunately, we have the photos yet. And that one driving test.
