MY17 Passat B8 updates

[limiteded]

As per the VW sales bulletin that someone has attached in the mk7 thread, looks like VW aust are addressing some of the basic packaging issues.

price adjustments also apply


for 132TSI Comfortline and 140TDI Highline and Alltrack:

Full electric seats for front with memory and massage for drivers seat standard
electric foldable mirrors With auto dimming for drivers side and auto kerb function for passengers side standard
drivers profile select standard on comfortline
revised content for luxury pack
revised price and content for R line pack

132TSI:
Front Assist withCity emergency brake standard
new wheel design(soho 17 inch) standard

revised content for luxury pack
revised price and content for R line pack

I thought these two don't apply to the AllTrack, am I reading that right?

And does this mean the Virtual Cockpit is part of one of these packs?

So, when will the MY17 Passat be in Australian showrooms and available for purchase?

Try September... depending on stock levels of MY16 Passat

September sounds good, but that bulletin makes no mention of the 206TSI Passat. Mmmm.....

My guess is the 206tsi may be a feb/march launch, since the new tiguan will be the major focus come october. But there may be a separate bulletin for the 206tsi also yet to come

Yes thats true.
No virtual cockpit for a while i wouldnt think, since audi aust are pushing it on the q7, a4, and coming a3.
VW aust are pretty good at withholding technology and options for aust. But giving options and technology to NZ similar to europe

Damn, wish I hadn't seen that...my new 132TSI Comfortline wagon has just arrived in country, having ordered in December, and from the outset one thing I wish it had (but was prepared to live without) was driver's seat memory!

[JamieHC]

Agree, afycionado. The lack of a memory drivers seat is inexcusable at this level. It's our biggest bugbear in what is otherwise an excellent car.

Could always do with some more power too but as it's the family truckster, that's okay.

Looking to buy a Passat MY16 Comfortline.Will there be significant value addition in the MY17?Is it worth waiting for MY17 or is it now a good time to grab a good deal on MY16?
