No, the sportline has an electric sunroof and the controls for that are where the sunglasses holder normally are on the SEL 😅

This is the first actual one I have seen on auto trader or anywhere showing the new spec. One thing that has changed unfortunately is the lidded compartment on the top of the dash has now been removed and replaced with a pretty useless shallow tray thing - now need to find somewhere else to store my sunglasses! “Skoda“ writing on steering wheel is not present despite the online stuff showing it on there. Other thing is the rear window isolator/ cancel button on drivers side door has been replaced with individual rear electric child door locks. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202501037698642?utm_source=product-service&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=at_braze_cars_ios_email_action_manual_alerts_email-a-friend

Can’t see that much has changed other than a sneaky little price increase!

I am shortly due to get a standard spec sportline edition DSG but confused about the above. As I understand it, those vehicles that historically had travel assist package had a dedicated steering wheel button as per the pic below which turns the travel assist function on and off (in effect a convenience button to activate all required components in one foul swoop). However, the new sportline edition model now has adaptive cruise control (ACC) and already had lane assist, traffic sign recognition etc. These appear to be the main components of travel assist package per below in speech marks. "Travel Assist package To make travelling safer with the Travel Assist Package. The adaptive cruise control uses a radar device in the front grille, which operates at up to speeds of 210 km/h, to maintain a safe distance from vehicles in front of you. The traffic jam assist controls the engine, brakes, and steering, to make the vehicle pull away, brake, and turn to copy the movement of the surrounding vehicles (at speeds of up to 60 km/h). The lane assist system is capable of keeping the car in the middle of the lane and alert the driver in case of deviation. A handy USB-C port for the rear view mirror is also included" - the only thing thing that I can see the sportline edition is now missing from that is the USB-C port - this is backed up by the fact the "travel assist package" is shown as an option per below for £180 extra - possibly solely for the USB-C port?? Travel Assist Package. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with collision predictive function, front assist and speed limiter. Lane assist and traffic jam assist. USB-C port for rear view mirror (charging only) £180 So if my intended vehicle does not have the specific "travel assist" package but does appear to have the main components of it, I dont understand what the difference between a travel assist equipped car and the new sportline edition would be? The only thing I can think of is if the adaptive cruise control is a predictive cruise control variation for travel assist equipped cars as it mentions "with collision predictive function" and perhaps that is what the steering wheel button indicates but I dont think it is very clear at all. However, as I have not chosen the £180 option, I suspect my intended sportline edition will not have the steering wheel button and presumably may not turn to copy the movement of surrounding vehicles or have any other benefits offered by travel assist? Any thoughts from those in the know? Edit - just found something that suggests the lane assist and adaptive cruise control elements on travel assist cars are slightly better/different so perhaps that explains the difference. If that is correct and it had been more clearly explained, I would probably have paid the £180 for the increased functionality!

As I imagine you’ll be one of the first sportline edition owners, I would be interested for your thoughts when you get the car and to see a few interior pics

Have you got a build week/expected delivery date?

If they are still supplied from new with the inserts (not sure as many owners ask dealers to remove them) I will be asking my dealer to remove them

As far as I know, there is no option of changing the wheels on the Sportline - not according to the build your own page/brochure pricelist - only thing to do is buy other wheels from Skoda or elsewhere afterwards - daft in my mind as I would have swapped the standard fit 19" to alternative 18" wheels at the point of purchase given the chance

Not sure whether she can have a separate login, but fairly sure she can share your username/password so that both of you have access

To all you Sportline owners - I know it only has map reading lights in the front but I like to see in the car when opening doors etc - what are the interior front lights actually like? And whilst on the subject, what are the two side mounted rear interior lights like?

It is, but I would consider the £29.00 a month route instead - I think this is the safer/more flexible option as some owners have been caught out if they sell/trade car in and have already paid the whole lot up front - see

amended brochure/pricelist dated 18.10.24 now online which is now almost accurate (I want to say down to me as I monitor these very closely and inform Skoda Customer Services when they are wrong - often one part of document contradicts another) - only obvious thing still wrong - which I advised them about - is that the tyre sizes for edition models are all incorrect - now just got to wait til Feb/March for my Sportline

Are you sure you are getting an edition variant (you may be getting one more by luck than anything?) as they weren’t released/available until 17.10.24

Just to clarify, high beam assist and matrix led are two different things - I think @don_kiddik means he has Matrix Led's ??

Whilst I am particularly interested in this Sportline edition, I’d be interested to see any photos or peoples experiences in terms of the extra equipment et cetera once they start taking delivery of the edition models

I think he means £200 more than the non-edition what’s left in existing stock models

I ordered the same model approximately two weeks ago. My estimated delivery is Feb25 at present. Hoping that due to the time of the year might be a bit quicker than that.

It is on PCP but trading in fairly shortly. Already had first MOT and is on flexible servicing - sure pollen filter was done at year 2 and had new brake pads all round a few months back.

from memory both (or at least one of these) these were added approx Apr 24 - I think you would know/would have found them if you had them?

service is next week - infotainment said oil service due but I have booked oil and inspection service but I think they would have done the extended scope if required - brake fluid change is extra but I am not keeping it long term so just wanted the routine service done - cost is £200 odd (prob nearer £300) but I will pay any shortfall once the plan is terminated - getting the plan also covers me in terms of breakdown, warranty etc until it is traded in

Thought this may be of interest to people - I have a Karoq which is due an immediate service but I am due to buy another new Karoq in 3-4 months time. I asked one local skoda dealer if I commenced the all in one plan on a monthly basis, then immediately booked a service but disposed of the car in 3-4 months time what would happen - I was advised that I would have to pay the balance of any service cost after the 3-4 instalments were paid (perfectly fair) but other than that I would benefit from all the other add ons (apart from any warranty claim in the first 30 days) so I took the plan out as they were prepared to confirm that via email - this goes to show that paying monthly is the best option for this plan. Where it gets more interesting though was that I had already contacted two other localish skoda dealers who both said cancellation was not permitted. Frustrated at the inconsistency of advice given, I contacted skoda financial services who administer the plan who confirmed that when paying monthly, cancellation part way through is permitted subject to any service balance being paid if applicable. I advised they should circulate this advice to their dealers as some are not advising customers of this and potentially losing business as a result of this

I read this thread with interest and I have a similar but not same thing to report. I currently have a Karoq which is due an immediate service but I am due to buy another new Karoq in 3-4 months time. I asked one local skoda dealer if I commenced the all in one plan (sounds like same one you had) on a monthly basis then immediately booked a service but disposed of the car in 3-4 month time what would happen - i was advised that I would have to pay the balance of any service cost after the 3-4 instalments were paid (perfectly fair) but other than that I would benefit from all the other add ons (apart from any warranty claim in the first 30 days) so I took the plan out as they were prepared to confirm that via email - this goes to show that paying monthly is the best option for this plan.

@DockerBob I see you are also from Ipswich - was it Bristos Ipswich you dealt with?

Double checked with dealer - Sportline Edition now comes with ACC,DCC, Winter Package Plus & Columbus Package and they are letting me reorder - should be worth the wait!

And that appears to be what my dealer is going to let me do hopefully - going to cost me slightly more (£10 per month) because the PCP campaign interest rate is higher but I would be happy with that
