Seeing as though different models in the range have different feature levels, it isn't surprising that some or all of these features are standard already on the "upper spec" models.

Yes. My 206 has all of this as standard anyway. Don't have headlight height adjustment with the Dynamic system as it does it automatically.
The memory seat easy access isn't great though as it after time it doesn't always go back to the correct location. Mine seems to drift backwards so has to be adjusted and reset every couple of days.

Had the same issue with my previous vehicle (Nissan Patrol Y62) - the comfort access system (which included steering column adjustment) in that vehicle also "drifted" I know it doesn't help fix the situation, but VW aren't alone with this. In the end, I just turned off the "comfort access" feature to stop the seat and steering column moving on every entry/exit to/from the vehicle.

so only real update for the 206 is the colours and the new display screen by the looks of it!

Would have been nice to get the all over camera view i.e 360 camera, and the close after you walk away button on the back door like the Tiguen has already.

Wolfsburg has that. Different models in the range, different specs. If they didn't do that, then people would pretty much all buy the base model all the time...
