2010 VW Eos and Scirocco get Golf GTI's 210HP 2.0 TSI Engine, Fuel Consumption Reduced by up to 9%
We first told you about VW's decision to replace the 200HP 2.0 TSI engine with the Golf GTI's newer and more powerful 210HP 2.0 TSI on the Scirocco earlier this month when the company's UK arm announce the availability of the GT model in the market. Now, VW has made known that aside from the Scirocco, the Eos will also benefit from this change with both models being available across Europe.The new powerplant from the latest-generation Golf GTI produces an extra 10-horsepower for a total output of 210HP while torque remains the same as the 200HP unit at 280Nm (207 lb-ft). Once again, the four-cylinder engine is fitted with a six-speed manual as standard and optionally, with VW's DSG dual clutch transmission.
Volkswagen claims that with this engine, the Scirocco's 0-100 km/h (62mph) sprint time has been cut by a significant 0.3 seconds over the outgoing 200HP model, at 6.9 seconds. The Eos 210HP 2.0 TSI hits the 100km/h mark from standstill in 7.8 seconds.
The latest 2.0 TSI is not only more powerful but also more fuel efficient than its predecessor as the German automaker says that the Scirocco 210HP returns a combined fuel economy of 7.4 lt/100km (31.8mpg US) representing a 5 per cent improvement over the previous model. Even better, the Eos 2.0 TSI 210HP consumes on average 7.2lt /100km (32.7 mpg US), which translates into a 9 per cent reduction in fuel consumption.
The 2010MY Scirocco and Eos 2.0 TSI 210HP are on sale now in Europe with prices in Germany starting from €26,050 and €31,975 respectively.
