Seems that there is an update on the external chrome trim, parts also available in Superskoda and retrofittable (crazy expensive though).

The Chinese Superbs have had that chrome trim on the lower front & rear bumpers for a while now.......

 

But yes, crazy expensive from SuperSkoda!!!

The digital dash is now showing in the latest update of ETKA. No partnumber or price yet. 

 

There is a price for the Octavia version - 1915€ incl. VAT!!!

Smaller one (like in polo, karoq, etc) or a larger one (like in passat)?

 

thanks

 

 

Looks similar to the Octavias dash, but it’s just a drawing so hard to tell.

SO glad, that I will get one of the last 1.4’s so I don’t have to deal with GPF

 

 

Me too.  Ordered my 1.4Tsi this week.

Kodiaq, Superb and Octavia will have similar smaller version of the VW digital dash -  identical to Karoq and yes, similar to Polo also. It can be seen on the Skoda Geneva Motor Show related page - http://www.skoda-auto.com/events/event-detail/geneva-2018 .

I don't think this trend is a good one. Real dials are better. I didn't particular like the TFT dials on the Passat GTE I demoed but on that they got across a lot of useful info.

 

Still not convinced.

It is a bit of bling and a nice gadget for the first few minutes you play with it but will pretty much end up on one configuration most if not all the time. Do not see any real benefits over normal dials and a colour maxi dot screen and certainly not enough benefits to justify the additional cost.

There was a benefit on the GTE understanding what car was doing but that was viewable on the ICE too.

I would say the only benefit is having the navigation map in front of you rather than in the center console. Rest is bling. 

I wonder however is that just the built in sat nav maps that can be displayed on the digital dash or will the Android auto / Apple carplay maps also have the ability to display?

With the digital dash, when the ignition is turned off, do you have a black expanse of nothingness in front of you?

 

When the sun shines directly on the display, can you still see it?

No. That display will not show the CarPlay/Android Auto apps.

I like it.

 

 

Love that. I'm a sucker for tech though

I like it too, rev counters are a waste of space on a modern auto so I could get rid of that, I cannot see the normal speedo anyway as the steering wheel covers half of it in the seating position I use, so it would be good to have a digital readout (I use the digital display in my current superb on the maxidot) and the navigation being in front of you is how it should be.

Now get rid of the stupid and dangerous touch screen and put in a rotary control and I will be happy.

Oh, and while their at it move the gear lever to the column as another switch, perfect!

I find the steering wheel covers the top half of the display, would you be able to move the dials around on the electronic one to get them visible?

I like it.  I think it would particularly suit the Sportline interior whereas the white/cream dials carried over from the L&K look dated and out of place.  TBH even some exclusive 'sportier' analog dials would be an improvement.

I thought the new head units were supposed to have better integration :(

ETKA SHOW, but no the part numbers

Odd isn't it?! Even SEAT have ditched it, in the Leon.
