Why Was the Volkswagen Scirocco Discontinued?
1 Answers
Not only in the Chinese market, but the sales of the Scirocco were also poor in various regions and markets globally, leading to its discontinuation. Here are the relevant details: 1. According to media reports, the Scirocco sold 2,054 units in the first quarter of 2016, a significant drop compared to the 10,752 units sold in the first quarter of 2015. 2. The Scirocco's model updates were extremely slow—the 1.4T powertrain remained unchanged for a total of nine years. Additionally, its exterior design adhered strictly to Volkswagen's "family look" approach, with minimal modifications. 3. For the Chinese market, three-door hot hatches were far less popular than in the European and American markets.
