Thanks gorey, not sure about that steering wheel (to big) as for the rest of the interior, no change as far as I can see.

Steering wheel should be the same. The changes on the interior are that some of the inserts (on the glovebox and around the air conditioner vents) are now black instead of silver/chrome. You can compare with the AU Volkswagen site pictures which have the pics of the 2017 model still.

The new discover pro entertainment unit is also shown

So the German configurator defeated me, but here is a small "teaser" shot from there of the MY18 R-Line interior vs one from current Australian MY17 configurator.

The Discover Pro is definitely the new version but the not sure re the discontinued chrome surrounds?

Heres a better shot of the Discover Pro, presumably its the one we will get in Australia, can anyone confirm / deny?

These pictures are a bit better if they MY18. Obviously ignore the seat colours and dynaudio speakers which we won't get.

Just my 2cents here for anyone that has major concerns about MY build difference. From my experience in the car manufacturing industry (21 years with a local manufacturer) unless the change is listed as a minor change aka face lift the changes are very limited. Things like head units get updated, trims get maybe a different look but the overall equipment is always the same.
Unless VW doesn't take into consideration the huge costs associated with change (which I highly doubt) i can't see the MY 18 been a whole lot different from MY16 let alone MY17.
Just a thought .

Likely to be the case as that looks really similar (possibly even the same hardware) as the one for the MY18 Skoda Octavia facelift - which obviously was never meant for RHD as the touch-based controls are still located on the left.
