Engines and gearboxes
Whichever engine or gearbox combination you select for your Scirocco, you can be sure of outstanding performance, excellent torque
and efficient fuel consumption. That’s because advanced Volkswagen engine technology delivers phenomenal results, whatever the
length of your journey – long distance or a quick spin, whether you opt for a petrol or diesel variant. The Scirocco features a hill hold
function which prevents your Scirocco from rolling back when pulling away or during a hill start, making every journey just that little
bit easier.
Hi-tech petrol engines feature
The Scirocco R features XDS, an extension of the well-known electronic differential lock (EDL) function. This is linked to the Electronic
Stabilisation Programme (ESP) hydraulics and works by applying pressure to the inner front wheel during fast cornering to prevent
spinning. The one-sided, precise brake pressure helps to maximise traction, reduce understeer and improve responses, thus making
cornering even more sporty, safe and accurate.
innovative TSI technology, which
utilises a combination of downsizing,
direct injection and turbocharging to
produce impressive torque and power
output, alongside low fuel consumption.
The fully synchronised six speed
manual gearbox is easy to use, giving
you total control.
The six or seven speed DSG gearboxes
offer a genuine alternative to a manual
gearbox because they are able to change
gear faster than a manual gearbox and
more smoothly than a conventional
automatic.
The 2.0 litre TSI 265 PS is a perfect
example of TSI technology. Direct
injection, downsizing and sophisticated
turbocharging technology combine to
produce the most powerful TSI engine
ever to power the Scirocco. This engine
also benefits from TSI characteristics
such as excellent torque, impressive fuel
consumption and reduced emissions
compared to previous range-topping
Volkswagens.

The Adaptive Chassis Control (ACC) adapts the damping control and shock absorption rate to the road conditions and driving style
you require within milliseconds. At the touch of a button, you decide how firm or comfortable you wish to set the suspension, with
a choice of three settings: Normal, Comfort or Sport. In Normal mode, the principal advantage of the system is that the dampers
are constantly adjusted to the road and the driving conditions. In Sport mode, the dampers are considerably stiffer and the steering
becomes more responsive. A direct contrast is Comfort mode where the suspension is adjusted to maximise passenger comfort,
particularly when travelling on poor road surfaces or long motorway journeys. Optional on Scirocco 1.4 litre TSI 122 PS and standard
on all other models.
Specify a DSG gearbox and the leather trimmed multifunction steering wheel features
paddle shift as standard, to allow quick gear changes without taking your hands off the
steering wheel.
The TDI diesel engines use common
rail technology which helps lower CO 2
emissions and offer better fuel economy.
