Very nice colour indeed, have you noticed anything different in the standard spec compared to your 2020 model?
Only very minor stuff like the newer style R badges and the front lower bumper trim being gloss black not chrome and same goes for the side trims by the mirrors. Got the interior lighting pack this time which makes the interior at night look great.
Spent some time cleaning it today and very happy with the colour

Does the innovision cockpit get software updates over its life? Wondering if updated software on an upcoming mid life update would be updated on existing cars. Plus does the software update itself over the air or is it done by the dealer.

Just extended my Touareg lease for another 12 months with VW Finance. Original lease was 24 months ending on 17/12/2022. Same monthly payments and pro rata mileage and can cancel at any time with no penalty smile

Fun fact - we brimmed the car up for a big trip from Scotland to Yorkshire.
4 people, boot rammed with cases for a holiday.
Did the 440 mile round trip and had more than a quarter tank left.
Approx mpg 35.5. Very pleased.
This was, shall we say, not hanging about on the motorway.

As I’ve moaned about above, I find the gearbox a bit pants around town but on a proper trip it’s a great car. The LKA still tries to kill you now and then but hey!!

Same, I’d already extended mine until July 2023 but now it’s July 2024. Warranty finished then but that doesn’t bother me seeing as I won’t find a car for the same price anywhere.

Last time the dealer updated me they said my May 21 order would be Q1 2023. Perhaps there is a delay in rear wheel steering option due to chip shortage.

Can I ask when you ordered yours? Ordered mine September 2021 and I still don't have a build date a year later. I doubt that I will ever see it.

Nothing. Ordered September 2021 and dealer will not even provide an estimate or give me any indication of when similar models, ordered around the same time, are landing. I don't think I'll ever see it.

Same, my broker is ignoring me too. Joke of a situation, ordered first week of July 21. I've now bought an X5 to run until this either turns up, or we can source something else near the original price. Was tempted with a Q7 Black Edition but another £130 a month and thirsty on fuel. At least time is on my side now!

Had mine for 18months. Agree that the gearbox is frustrating, but you learn to drive around it. I’ve found putting it into sport mode on A Roads makes a big difference as the car doesn’t change down unnecessarily. Long distance, it’s a monster. It just swallows miles. Not seen any mention of headlights, but the IQ adaptive lights are the best I’ve come across. Last weekend we did 250miles in one hit from Cornwall to London late evening. Decent efficiency considering we were shoving on.

An average of 70mph is definitely ‘shoving on’

It's probably not much comfort, but at least at this time of year time tends to go quicker. What spec did you order?

The 286 TDI Black Edition. Was only given choice of white, grey or black. Paid extra for grey. Would have like the ambient lighting and long range fuel tank - but was told no options allowed on this deal.

A friend has grey - good choice it looks lovely. Have booked ours in for a new car prep and ceramic coating in a few weeks time. Wasn't bothered about the previous one given it was white, but fancied it for this one.
