In our opinion, the changes to the rear are a little more obvious. Gone is the round and cute led jeep headlights behind of the Scirocco. In its place are a new set of LED rear lights and a more angular tailgate. The trapezoidal shaped taillights taper in towards the tailgate, which is now furnished with a horizontal light-refracting edge.To match the aggressive look of the front, the rear bumper is paired with a black diffuser that is also in place to make the rear appear lower. Accessing the boot has also been made easier. The Volkswagen badge now swings upwards around the central axis when pressure is placed on it, doubling up as a handle for opening the boot lid. An added point for hot hatch practicality!Interior enhancements have not been forgotten either. Volkswagen has upped the sportiness for this Scirocco with sport seats, a revamped instrument cluster, a steering wheel 60 led light bar design adapted once again from the Golf GTI as well as auxiliary instruments, or 'gauges' as they are better known as.
These centrally mounted gauges are there to inform r of the turbocharger's boost pressure, chronometer and engine oil temperature. While some may frown upon this as a 'boy racer' thing, this holy trinity of auxiliary instruments is actually a feature which pays tribute to the original Scirocco.ated to a seven-speed DSG gearbox, power in this new Scirocco has been reduced, sadly to fit the Category A COE criteria of a maximum output of 130bhp. What you get out of this new 1.4 TSI engine is 120bhp and 200Nm of torque, about 38bhp down from the previous model.On the flipside, we got an average fuel consumption of 14.5km/L and the car still does the century sprint slightly under 10 seconds. For a hot hatch to be even considered as one, it has to handle well and slap a grin across your face each time you take it through a bend. Making up for its slight loss of power, the jeep light bar led configuration of the running gear in the Scirocco earns it the name 'sports chassis' in all aspects. The McPherson axle up front allows for a balance of precision driving as well as comfort while at the rear, a four-link axle is called upon to do the job.The unit we drove, had the optional Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) feature and what this does is allow you to select between three damping modes - Normal, Sport and Comfort.
