Take my money already!

The video in this link shows the steering wheel but still no views on the seats.

There's a brief glimpse of the interior in this video posted by Skoda on YouTube. They're a 'waffle' design finish, look to be Alcantara maybe? The door cards are in a similar material albeit flat. There's some carbon effect trim too.

I'll take it, now release the trim specs please!

Sad note, wife has vetoed th r waffle design Alcantara seats which I kinda liked. Here's hoping they do a full leather trim version as she said she might go for that. Might.... what chance have I got.

So above what the press have already announced it looks like it gets:

Alcantara waffle weave seats / Alcantara door cards

Flat bottom perforated leather steering wheel

Boot spoiler and mirrors (in black)

Tinted rear lights

What do we reckon price wise, between the SE and SE L exec or between SE L exec and L&K?

Nice clip of the hatch.

That vid was posted 4 posts back ! Are you on the right thread ? :-D !

[jamiemad]

Sorry captain. I thought i had looked at that link and it was a different video. Back in my box.

[Nick_H]

Haha ! I've NEVER made a mistake like that before lol ! ;-)

[l4wrence]

The more I look at this model the more I'm glad I ordered the L&K (IMHO). Most of what's offered on this model I bet you can pop easily onto the standard car except perhaps for the suspension. You can already get those wheels as an accessory. Same goes for the pedals. I bet the gear knob, trim and steering wheel could be retro fitted too. The L&K already gets rear tint. Maybe the sportline is a little darker?

 

The only thing that I was hoping to see something really different was the seats and that waffle thing isn't doing it for me. Rather disappointing.

[blahde2]

I like the wheels n steering wheel, don't care much for the black pack as I'll (SWMBO orders) be picking a darker colour so it would be wasted on it.

If I get my way (likely I won't) I'll be having white or silver so it might look alright.

[jamiemad]

Apologies for my previous post but the question I am (still) curious about is....What do we reckon price wise, between the SE and SE L exec or between SE L exec and L&K?

There is already a page on the skoda web page(not UK) but no real mention of price or actual equipment levels.

Pretty sure it's going to be a good few k less than an L&K and its aim is to attract a different type of customer to the superb.

Whilst the speculation continues when do we think one might be able to order such a steed?

Here's hoping it is around the SE or SE Business / to half way to SE L spec.

As for options, the top smart xenons and all the road assist gubins, screw the fancy options. Function over luxury please with a price to match.

I think the seats are the big difference. Look at the screenshot I have attached, it looks like the top half of the seat has wings ala RS6.

I certainly hope so because they (the RS6 seats) look lovely.

On looking closer those seats look mighty familiar as in they are my Octy 3 VRS seats retrimed in Alcantara. Comfy but no way to attach tablet holders to the back of them without straps. I'll still take them.

[l4wrence]

You're right, seats are quite different. Look a bit odd to me.

Apart from some minor detailing and the trim material, they are indeed Octy 3 VRS seats. If it weren't for the manic rain outside I'd go & double check. They will do nicely thank you.

I saw one at a campsite near Eurodisney at the start of the summer hols. I had no idea what is was at first till I had a good look, I thought the sportline badge was nicked of another car. I does look good in the flesh.

They Windows surrounds are also painted in Black like the mirrors!

Plenty of pictures here:

If the models in the photos come standard with the Sportline, I might just have to change my order ;-)

[casati]

I recon it will be a couple of thousand less than the L&K for the simple fact that its available in 1.4 where as the L&K is pitched a bit higher with min 1.8 petrol or 2.0 tdi. The in the photo's has electric seats - so assuming they are standard along with the full size sat nav I'd guess it will be above SE L spec or Style spec here in Ireland - might make it too expensive to be a big seller

 

I really like the overall look, absolutely love the vrs style seats (though I wonder how they will look in 3 or 4 years?) and a lot of styling is cool, like the black window surrounds and interior trim. If I could afford to trade up I think its would be the spec I'd try to go for - my dealer (in Dublin) thinks it will be available here but had no idea when or what it will cost

Think S Line Audis folks. This is simply Skodas take on it.

That started life as an add on option against any engine/trim level i think - it's now a fully fledged trim line it's self, sitting one above the SE.

But according to the article above, if I have read it correctly, the Sportline will be available on all engines except the smallest petrol and the smallest diesel, therefor available with the same engines as the SE, SE L Exec and L+K, so pretty much inline with the S Line Audi.
