New brochure - front assist and ACC

[philwoodphoto]

As per a post elsewhere the new October 2014 brochure can now be downloaded. Not much new but (as speculated) front assist is standard on elegance now and ACC is optional across a lot more of the range (SE, elegance, scout and VRS). So is it worth me tweaking my elegance 1.4tsi dsg order to add ACC?

[TonyD]

I have ACC on my VRS and do a lot of motorway miles, wouldn't be without ACC now.

Is ACC available immediately? I might have to change my order....

[andyvee]

Lane Assist is back as an option as well.

[lozza]

This is massively annoying. I only ordered mine last month, with ACC, only to be told it wasn't available.....

[Shermo]

Mildly annoyed at this as I really wanted ACC but was assured when I ordered early this year that it wouldn't be coming back due to problems... then it came on the L&K and now front assist is standard on Elegance and ACC is an option! PAH!

Do all manufacturers change specs this often?? I'll bet i'll order one and footwell lights will be standard! Better download the new brochure too

[mashterman]

Interesting Spec changes in the UK October brochure:

 

XDS Differential lock - standard on S and above!!!

Front Assistant - standard on Elegance, optional on Scout and vRS

ACC - an option on Elegance, Scout and vRS

Lane Assist - Option from SE to Elegance, standard on Scout and vRS

 

And

 

Under Seat Storage drawer replaced with Safety Vest Holder!!!!!!!

 

No Footwell Lighting option though!

Didn't spot that one - but I was looking at the PDF on a little phone screen! Will have a proper look soon.

Bummer! Would have liked XDS on my Black Edition. You get the feeling with Skoda that if you wait 3 years you will get all the options as standard!

Sorry to ask, but where can I download the latest brochure?

Why do you think they do special edition models just before MY changes?

I thought it had always been a safety vest holder - or are you saying the passenger seat gets a safety vest holder as well?

lol. ffs, I thought it may be a secret leaked one or something

OK OK I fell for it Andy. Just PM'd you with an obvious VCDS question...

Is Energy Recovery a new addition?

Yes AndyVee, you're right on the passenger side. Although it doesn't list the passenger under seat storage anymore.

[mashterman]

Is Energy Recovery a new addition?

Has always been there even in the October 2013 brochure.

[mashterman]

Also saw that they've removed the Petrol Blue Metallic option

 

and the Steel Grey Metallic for vRS

Looks like the base price has come down a bit too. Just went through the configurator to see if that has been updated (it's not) and the same spec elegance as my order appears to be £300 less RRP than 13/9 - all the extras are the same price.

Of course it could have happened weeks ago and I've only just noticed!

[lozza]

I've just emailed my lease company re adding ACC (yes, I know it's 23:30, but it couldn't wait!)..... See what they say tomorrow.

Would be a MASSIVE bonus if (a) it's true and ( I can get it added. Fingers crossed!

Same here my brochure said ACC was standard and steeler didn't say otherwise. When my car turned up there was no ACC. I queried but was told that supply problems with ACC ment not possible and they pointed to small print. I was also told that even when it did come back VW and Audi would get the stock. I don't miss what I have never had but urinated off all the same.
