•    The visually enhanced sports coupé is sharper and more stylish than its predecessor


Al Nabooda Automobiles today announced the arrival of the stylish Volkswagen Scirocco and Scirocco R model series. The next generation is now available throughout showrooms in Dubai, Sharjah and Fujairah. Prices start at AED 149,500.


Defined by a series of visual and technical advancements, the agile and confidently stylish Scirocco now boasts an unmistakable silhouette with sharper design attributes and features that have enhanced the coupé’s sporty appeal.


Thierry Seys, General Manager, Al Nabooda Automobiles, Volkswagen, said: “The Scirocco is a dynamic performer, offering pure driving pleasure and an ideal companion for the roads of everyday life in Dubai and the Northern Emirates, especially those who love sports cars. It is also a firm favourite with our valued customers who appreciate the top quality German engineering, performance, safety and the expressive design that it offers.


“With the arrival of the Scirocco in our showrooms, our customers can enjoy the ultimate sports coupé at an affordable price.”


The models’ design forms the visual basis for its overall sporty package. The newly styled and sharpened front and rear sections include the dynamically contoured bi-xenon headlights, and LED rear lights round off the exterior and swivelling Volkswagen logo as a handle for opening the boot lid. The series also appears to be more clearly contoured and wider, due to the bumper surfaces painted in body colour as opposed to being kept black.


The sporty appeal is transferred to the Scirocco R with an extensive range of features including matt chrome side sill extensions with “R” styling and brake callipers painted black with “R” logo. The Scirocco R can also be visually distinguished by new details such as the chrome tailpipes and the larger roof edge spoiler.


The interior is equally striking, with all-new materials, sport seats and steering wheel. Attention is drawn to the optimised, visually streamlined auxiliary instrument panel trim with charge pressure, chronometer, engine oil temperature standard. The air nozzle panels and the central panel around the navigation system with an aluminium-look are now flush-mounted in the instrument panel and thus accentuate the high-end quality of the interior


“R” insignia lines the Scirocco R interior, with features including the “Race” seat covers with the "R" logo, decorative "Carbon Race" inlays and stainless steel pedals.


Available in a range of new colours including "Pure White“, "Flash Red" and "Urano Grey,” as well as the metallic colours, "Ultra Violet" and "Pyramid Gold," customers can now enjoy added flexibility and choice. Scirocco R drivers will also have the option of the redesigned “Cadiz” wheel trim in 18 or 19 inch versions, while  the 17-inch "Long Beach" alloy wheel rims come as standard on the Scirocco. 




Loaded with power, the fuel-efficient Scirocco consumes just 7.7l/100km and boasts 155kW/210HP, while the series’ top model – the Scirocco R completes the classic sprint in just 5.8 seconds with its four cylinder, 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DSG) and 187kW/255HP engine.
