I can confirm that Elegance and L&K will get LED rear lights. They will be an option on the Ambition in CZ so likely also available as an option on the SE. The option is priced at the equivilent of £115 in CZ.

 

Is that insider info, Nick?

 

It doesn't appear on the SUK website spec that LED rear lights are standard on the Elegance or L&K. LED DRLs yes but nothing about tail lights.

Might be an interesting 'upgrade'?

Is that insider info, Nick?

 

Yes, also backed up by the CZ brochure...

My source could be wrong and it ends up being a optional extra on all trim levels on the UK cars, but lets hope not. Also, the variable price increases on the different trim levels relative to the pre-fl prices, support the theory of our Elegance and L&K getting them too.

Can confirm that LED rear lights are standard on Elegance and L&K and option on SE. Had the Skoda UK (dealer eyes only) option list emailed to me today from my local dealer (no prices yet though), so I can choose my options. Sports seats are another new option, similar to the ones in the Urban I imagine (superb seats BTW), rear camera, and Matterhorn alloys. Other than that, pretty much the same options as now.

I'm not surprised that the Amundsen doesn't come as standard on the Elegance FL, as it's a large wadge of moolah for SUK to add to all the other kit the Elegance comes with. It also gives me a bit more justification in my purchase of a pre-FL SE Plus. A built in sat nav was an important part of my want list and knowing that there are mainly very cosmetic changes to the update makes me feel that I've saved quite a bit of money ordering earlier.

Yeah, I'm interested to see how much the sports seats are in the UK. They're about £150 on top of Elegance or £200 on top of Ambition (SE) in CZ.

 

I think the red looks great. If they're sensibly priced, I'll add them to our order I think. Those and moon white paint.

Something that we were told today by Skoda UK - for October only, you can order your Facelift Yeti at Pre Facelift prices!!

 

They are also able to offer the same 0% PCPdeal with free servicing as per the current Yeti campaign as well!

Thanks - we like LEDs....

Will be interesting to see the cost of the sports seats.

They are a £400 option on the Rapid.

But can you get ELECTRIC sport seats?

Spooky if they are £400 as that's exactly what I budgeted for - for me a must have option as the ones in my last Urban were so damn supportive and comfy. Just hope you can spec the heated option with them.

 

My mate swears they are exactly like the ones in his VW Scirocco. However, I don't want to tick that option box until I have seen what the trim is (hopefully not a stupid tyre tread pattern like the Adventurer model - YUK!).

 

0% finance till end of year as well - perfect.

And for a good while after that I'd wager. The current Skoda 0% PCP and pricing structure is a very successful bit of financial engineering. I think it would be disastrous for them to alter it any time soon.

On top of that 0% is infinfitely better for resale values than doing VAT free...  

Precisely

The 0% is the new Skoda thing, instead of the VAT free.  So it's going to be here for a while...

They can sell the cars cheaper, without appearing to sell them cheap.

Got a cracking deal from Bickerton. They've been a pleasure to deal with as always.

 

1.2TSI Outdoor Elegance in Moon White.  :sun:

I think I've worked out where the Outdoor front fogs come from!!

 

Have a look at a Passat Estate.

Oh well spotted - yeah, they could well be. All the more chance of getting one from a scrap yard if it gets smashed.

1.2TSI Outdoor Elegance in Moon White.  :sun:

Signed my order form today and paid deposit  - Outdoor SE 4x4 DSG (Progress Skoda - sorry Lee!)

 

Dealer can't officially place order with factory until option prices are available (by month end hopefully).

 

Got a good (£600 over book) p/ex and the 0% PCP/free servicing........so all in all very happy.

 

Now I am waiting for someone to tell me they got an "over book" p/ex and discount.

 

PS: found these people for a good main dealer discount though if you don't want the 0% finance/free service deal  - http://www.carwow.co.uk . They are not a broker and no fees - just enter your requirements and within 24 hours all interested dealers will email you their best price. Discounts ranged from £1000 to £1700 on my spec. P/ex will be bottom book, if at all I imagine though.

Standard wheels on SE are now Scudo or Erebus on Outdoor. Rest of spec over S remains the same as pre-fl.

 

The standard wheels on FL Elegance are Annapurna on both Outdoor and non-Outdoor.

 

Hmm, in the CZ spec you get Erebus on the Elegance outdoor. Can't help but feel it they suit the outdoor better than the polished / black Annapurna. I'm not sure I'm too keen on the polished / black Annapurna. The CZ options list also suggest they can pick standard silver Annapurnas.

 

I wish SUK would get their act together and get the final options list right with prices. I'd consider the 16" Forest wheels.

It's an SUK thing for bling; probably have an ex employee of Gucci working down at Milton Keynes in the specification department

 

 

TP

I just think the polished / black ones look a bit halfords, especially on a white car:

 

 

Yeah, I've decided, I'm going to alter my order to have different wheels.

 Erebus 

 

 

Cant help hearing a Scottish voice (for some reason) saying something about a double decker, fare-paying, strap hanging, terminus heading large red THING in this context... ...

I quite like the silver option version of the Origami design shown here - definitely looks classier:
