Detailed analysis of the Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0 TDI 140 CV BlueMotion Technology (2012-2013)
General description
The Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0 TDI 140 HP BlueMotion Technology, manufactured between 2012 and 2013, is a coupe that combines sportiness with efficiency. This model, with its 140 HP diesel engine, offers an attractive alternative for those looking for a car with character and low fuel consumption. Its distinctive design and focus on BlueMotion technology make it an interesting option within the compact coupe segment.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Scirocco 2.0 TDI, the feeling is one of agility and control. The diesel engine, although not the most powerful in the range, delivers its 140 HP linearly and with a torque of 320 Nm available from low revolutions (1750 rpm), which translates into good response in most situations. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.3 seconds is respectable, and the top speed of 207 km/h allows for long journeys with solvency. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and deformable parallelogram at the rear, together with the speed-sensitive electric power steering, provides a good balance between comfort and dynamism, allowing you to enjoy driving on winding roads without sacrificing everyday comfort. The combined consumption of 4.5 l/100km is one of its strong points, making every trip more economical.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the Volkswagen Scirocco is, without a doubt, one of its greatest attractions. With a length of 4256 mm, a width of 1810 mm, and a height of 1404 mm, its silhouette is low and wide, conveying an image of sportiness and solidity. The three doors and the sloping roofline give it a very marked coupe aesthetic. Details such as the 225/45 R17 tires on 7x17 inch wheels reinforce its sporty character. The interior, although with four seats, is designed to envelop the occupants, with a driver-oriented dashboard and a quality of finishes typical of Volkswagen. Despite its sporty focus, the trunk offers 292 liters, a reasonable figure for a coupe of these characteristics.
Technology and features
This Scirocco incorporates Volkswagen's BlueMotion technology, which translates into greater efficiency. The 140 HP 2.0 TDI engine features common rail direct injection, variable geometry turbo, and intercooler, optimizing combustion and reducing emissions. The inclusion of the Stop&Start system contributes to reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions (118 g/km) in urban environments. The 6-speed manual transmission allows precise control over power delivery. In terms of safety, it has 288 mm ventilated disc brakes at the front and 253 mm discs at the rear, ensuring effective braking. The speed-sensitive electric power steering improves maneuverability at low speeds and stability on the highway.
Competition
In the compact coupe market, the Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0 TDI 140 HP faced rivals such as the Audi TT, although the latter with a more premium and sporty approach. Other competitors could be the Peugeot RCZ, with an equally striking design, or even more sporty versions of compacts such as the Renault Mégane Coupé or the Opel Astra GTC. However, the Scirocco stood out for its balance between design, diesel efficiency, and Volkswagen's renowned build quality, offering a unique proposition in its segment.
Conclusion
The Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0 TDI 140 HP BlueMotion Technology is a car that achieves a remarkable balance between sporty aesthetics, efficiency, and practicality. Its timeless design remains attractive, and its diesel engine offers sufficient performance for daily use and long journeys, with truly low fuel consumption. It is an ideal option for those looking for a coupe with personality, which does not give up on economy of use and Volkswagen's build quality. A car that, without being a radical sports car, offers gratifying driving sensations and an unmistakable style.
