If you're talking about the mk 7.5, then yes, I believe it is. If your talking about the mk 7. Not sure.

Anyone who has taken delivery of a MK7.5 with DAO confirm if this is the case? Specs only show lane assist not traffic jam assist.

Nice... so this means that you have adaptive lane guidance as well? Funny thing VWA never make TJA as advertising point.🤔

I believe it does. If you download the spec sheet from the website it lists it.
Only thing R doesn't have that GTI has is park assist. Bemuses me why R has never had it.

I thought specs only listed "Lane Assist" which is only a lane departure warning and a very different animal to Adaptive Lane Guidance.

Are talking about the option where the care will drive for you during a traffic jam of up 60kmph?

If so, then I have read that it does come in the DAP and also my dealer told me it did he sold it to me. Unless he was telling me porkies... I'll mention it to him on Wednesday when I go in to test drive the car.

Also going to ask about Wolfsburg and decide whether I change or not.

Yes that would be the so-called traffic jam assist. I recall VWA saying that it is no available in the Australian market whereas they advertises otherwise for the Arteon. I am going to see my dealer sometime next week as well. Been 1.5 weeks since car landed and not hearing a pindrop from them.

Well the media is saying it's available for Aus:
