Leather/Heated Seats

[Sydneykid]

Maybe I missed it but I can't see an option for leather seats or heated seats in the MK8 list. That's going to kill any chance of my wife updating from the Mk7 Highline to a MK8.

I'm pretty sure leather is only available on the mk8 GTI or R.
Definitely on the R-line I'm planning to order.

On the GTi the "Luxury Package" has a sunroof, heated steering wheel, ventilated & heated front seats, Vienna leather appointed upholstery and an electric driver’s seat with memory. But I can't find an equivalent for the non GTi models.

The "Comfort & Style Package" for the non GTi models includes the panoramic sunroof, sport seats with microfleece upholstery, plus 30 shades of interior ambient lighting. No leather or heated seats mentioned.

FWIW, the sunroof takes away too much headroom, so those bundles aren't attractive for us.

VW Aus have loaded the configurator for the MK8 and sure enough no leather heated seats for non GTi models.
