    Yes fair enough. Id say the 206 must have that or being updated to have that then too then. Mine is a year old so maybe the newer 206s have it already if the Top Alltrack does.
    Now: MY16 VW Passat 206TSI R-Line 4motion
    Before: MY14 Skoda Octavia VRS TDI Manual, MY10 Skoda Scout TDI manual

    But none of the sedan range has automated boot, unlike the overseas model.

    Which overseas model? Built where? US-spec vehicles are very very different to the Euro manufactured ones we receive, so just trying to clarify which ones you are referring to

    I know US Passat is different, even the shape. The Euro manufactured ones for European market have easy open boot for sedan as well, 360 camera, HUD, ventilated seats among other things. Even the ones for Malaysian market has easy open boot for sedan and 162TSI. Sigh.

    When you say "easy open" boot, are you referring to opening or closing? My wife has a 2016 132TSI Comfortline - press the boot button on the remote, and it opens purely by pressure in the spring/hinge system. Same as when you press the badge on the boot lid. Closing is manual of course...
    Cheers

    No easy open means you kick under the boot and the boot will open, as with closing, you press a button on the boot/your remote as well (i think), and it will close. This feature is only available in wagon version of Passat here.

    Current: MY16 132TSI | Luxury | R-Line
    MY14 C250 W205 | Command | Vision | Exclusive | Seat Comfort
    MY13 A200 W176 | Command | Vision | Exclusive | Seat Comfort

    Was hoping the 206 would get the Tiguan's new 7 speed DSG
