The modern Volkswagen Scirocco was brought back to life as a three-door hatchback in 2008, built on the same platform as the fifth-generation Golf. Yet this was actually the third generation of the Scirocco, as it was originally created in 1974. This original design remained in production until 1992, when the company took it out of the range temporarily. However, the newer Scirocco didn't last more than another generation, with the coupé version discontinued in 2018.

Volkswagen Scirocco generations
Third Generation (2008 to 2017)
It had been 34 years since the original model debuted when VW decided to bring back the Scirocco as a stylish two-door coupé. With improved driving dynamics and a sportier shape, it became an instant success. Based on the Golf platform, the Scirocco had a slim grille, narrow headlights and a big bumper. The larger spoiler contained a wide air intake for better cooling.
A 2014 update brought new LED strips for the headlights and a restyled bumper that contained fog lights. The rear of the hatch now had a small line placed over the tailgate and the overall taillight design was topped with LEDs.

Used Volkswagen Scirocco FAQ's
Which is the most popular engine in the Volkswagen Scirocco?

Which are the most popular trim levels?
Throughout the years, Volkswagen has offered a variety of trim levels, such as the GT, R-Line, GTS and R. The GT is among the most popular, with larger 18-inch alloys, rear tinted windows and upgraded satnav being well-liked features.
What optional extras should I look out for?

Front and rear parking sensors are beneficial for navigating into tight spaces.
Is the Volkswagen Scirocco a good family car?
