MY18.5 or MY19 - Difference ? Should I Wait ?

[FastMitch]

Didn't know what it was about but there's a few videos on the topic:

Thanks for the vid - is it new hardware for MY19 or just a software update via VCDS that can be patched to the MY18.5 ?

There's a discussion about DLA here: Dynamic Light Assist

It looks to be a feature that can be enabled but depends on the modules installed and needs a newer cable that can access the headlight module (older cables for some reason can't??).

Woohoo at least we get some news now about 2019 Tiggy, new additional news is the Wolfsburg Edition which sounds like the Fully Loaded tiggy with Heads up Display


162TSI Wolfsburg Edition AWD - $55,490

• Sound & Vision package
• R-Line package
• Black exterior trims
• 20-inch black alloys

That's a lot of goodies included at base-spec, but it seems that they have bumped the Highline base price by $1000

2018 162TSI Highline - $48,490
2019 162TSI Highline - $49,490

You also need to add the $3k Sound & Vision to get Active Info Display instead of the old $2k DAP, but of course the S & V includes premium audio

For the extra $1K on the Highline, you get Dynamic light assist + Electric front seats (memory function)

The R-line has dropped from $4,000 to $2,900

2018 162TSI Highline: Base Price + DAP ($2K) + Rline ($4K) = BP + $6,000

2019 162TSI Highline: Base Price + $1K + S&V Pack ($3K) + Rline ($2,900) = BP + $6,900

Seems like for a $900 variance and the extra gear you get, its a good deal to get the MY19

$900 gives you:
- Dynamic light assist
- Electric front seats, memory function
- Premium audio system

Yeah I think it's good value if you are going fully loaded, but more complicated if you are not...like me.

They just want to encourage everyone just to go fully loaded.... much simpler for inventory. Plus there's only 3 colours makes things simple.

I'm guessing a pano roof on a Wolfsburg is not part of the deal and see it only comes in back white or grey. I didn't see a cost quoted for the sunroof on higher spec models, so expect that will be ++? as per 18.5. Would anybody like to guess what would a good price to aim at for a drive away Wolf if I was happy to order and wait. I wouldn't expect to see it until end of year. Maybe a few advantages in waiting a few months and getting a 19 plated vehicle?
