New 170 PS Volkswagen Scirocco GT TDI
The Volkswagen Scirocco GT is now available as an oil burner, with a 2.0 liter TDI engine under the hood putting out 170 PS at a typically diesel 4,200rpm. A high performance diesel isn’t really surprising at all considering even the Mk6 Golf has a 170 PS GTD diesel variant.
While that 170 PS number may not cause much excitement, torque dials in at 350Nm from just 1,750rpm which should give the Scirocco plenty of shove from a stand-still, but being a modern diesel fuel consumption is rated at 53.3 mpg on the combined cycle.
The 6-speed manual version is slightly less polluting at only 139g/km of CO2 emissions and is priced at £21,755.00 RRP OTR while the 6-speed DSG version puts outs 147g/km of CO2 and is priced at a premium because of the twin clutch gearbox, you’ll have to fork out £23,060.00 for it, or about RM 122,150.

I have seen the sirrocco real life and it looks great in blue and white. Pity there is less space internally compared to the golf but those looks will not be a problem. Also it rides worse than a golf.

Paul, Please stop telling us the UK prices. Just the technical report will do.
As the saying goes, what you don’t know, wouldn’t hurt. You just reminded me of how little we get for the exorbitant prices we pay for our cars.
Thanks anyway for bringing the news to all the readers. Thumbs up.

No. It’s not hurting. In fact, we are proud to know how much we are contributing to the country for every imported vehicle we purchase.
Pls keep it up!

mystvearn, if you had driven the Scirocco in the UK it would have likely been equipped with DCC (adjustable suspension), so if you had a “bumpy” experience, its likely u had the setting on “sport” mode, which by intention gives u a firmer ride (=better handling). It should not be very diff from the MK6 GTI as it too will feature DCC and they share the same platform

High performance diesel ? I don’t like the 170hp TDI that much. Not too much difference to the 136hp TDI without particulate filter, I don’t know where they hide the additional 34hp…
But the new 2.0TDI with twin turbo and 204hp will be out next year…
