VW Scirocco R – The must have ‘coupe’ hatchback

The VW Scirocco R is the right choice for anyone looking for a hatchback with a classy design and impressive performance. Unlike its close sibling, the VW Golf R, the Scirocco R sits closer to the road and looks more aggressive.

Unique design

Traditionally independent design and upholstery elements characterise the Scirocco R. This is equally true for the design of the front, rear and for the wheels. In particular the three large, glossy black air inlets, the standard bi-xenon headlights, the LED daytime running lights and the LED indicators attract attention at the front. At the side, this includes the door mirror housings in "matt chrome", the side sill extensions with "R" styling and the brake calipers painted black with "R" logo.

Rear LED lights

At the rear, the chrome tailpipes, respectively on the left and right, together with the larger roof edge spoiler still emblem of the unique character of the Scirocco R. The large air outlets at each end of the bumper are visible. The standard 18-inch wheel trim for the Volkswagen Scirocco R was also redesigned. They are available as in 19-inch sizes as well.

Performance

Powering the Scirocco R is a 2.0-litre TSI unit with an impressive 206 kW (276 hp).  Paired with the unit is a six-speed manual or DSG gearbox. The power unit consumes 8.0 l/100 km, which is more efficient than the previous model.

Interior

Similar to the exterior, the interior of the Scirocco R is marked by the hand of Volkswagen R GmbH. The individualised features include the "Race" seat covers with the "R" logo and decorative stitching in grey, the black roof liner, decorative "Carbon Race" inlays, applications in glossy "Piano Black" (radio faceplate, multifunction leather sport steering wheel and door handles) and stainless steel pedals. The specific "R" instrument needles are traditionally blue and the aluminium door sill plates are complemented by an "R" logo.
