Volkswagen’s sleek new Scirocco range has been expanded with cheaper versions.

The new entry-level specification model sits beneath the GT trim level and includes a six-disc stereo, automatic headlights and wipers, air conditioning and 17-inch alloy wheels as standard.

Two engines also join the line-up – a 1.4-litre TSI petrol unit delivering 160bhp, and the familiar 2.0-litre TDI diesel with 140bhp.

Prices now start at £18,790 for the Scirocco 1.4 TSI, while the entry-level diesel costs £19,515.
