Volkswagen Scirocco photos leaked ahead of debut

Geneva_Preview_Volkswagen_Scirocco

Photos of the Volkswagen Scirocco have been released ahead of Volkswagen’s official announcement, so we get to drool at the production version of Volkswagen’s IROC Concept. The production Volkswagen Scirocco gets a new grille, far from the big open mouthed design of the IROC Concept. The 3-door hatch sits lower and wider than a Golf, and the model will debut with a range of forced induction engines, even for the baseline, which will be a 1.4 liter TSI.

Full details of the Volkswagen Scirocco will be revealed closer to the Geneva Motorshow, but for the moment view more shots after the jump including some of the interior, which reveals a 4 seater layout because the rear seat bench is shaped like twin bucket seats.

    I like the concept car better than the finished article. they should maintain the front part of the concept. It does not look that much different though.

    rear exterior reminds me of honda civic hatch aka honda mayat…front and rear exterior feels unconnected to each other..hmmm i like the exterior but the seat colour seems not match with the exterior and interior…nice idea for the bucket seat at the rear..with tsi engine this car can fly….but overall hmm kinda weird unsatisfactory feel i had

    Look like a hybrid of Lancer front and Latio Sport’s rear. Like palatypus. Low centre of gravity sure giving the edge for this car on cornering.

    Didn’t Honda do this already in the early nineties with the EG Civic hatch? I guess the Japs are going Euro and the Euros are going Jap.

    i wish that i dont sit in the middle of rear reat. i would be really painful.

    from the exterior design, i wonder starting from this model, will it be the trend setter in terms of VW design?? just like golf and to the rest of VW generation….

    Coolness… they actually made the front cooler than the concept… I still dun like the fact that it’s a hatch… it’s meant to be a coupe… but still sweet nevertheless…

    It’s a big depature from the slim and wedgy original styling of Giugiaro’s original Scirocco in 1974. The newer versions are more teutonic, more in line with VW’s overall image across the board. Somehow or rather, it’s getting too blend and ‘faceless’.

    Looks pretty slick. Although it looks more like a replacement Golf GTI rather than an all new model

    The new VW Scirocco exterior is totally different from current range of VWs. It looks cool…but the interior is left to be desired…looks like VW EOS…
