Factory options list - mk7 Golf R

[sharkpatrol7]

Hi all,
We’re looking at buying a used mk7 Golf R but having trouble finding exactly what was on the factory options list before the mk7.5 came out. As far as I can gather the options for the mk7 were:


- driver assistance package
- premium audio
- sunroof
- leather seats (now standard in the mk7.5)


Sorry if this is posted somewhere before - I searched the forum but would happily review the old thread if someone has a link.


Re the driver assistance package and the premium audio, are there easy ways to visually see these are fitted as the Carsales listings seem inaccurate sometimes. I believe the icon for the cruise control on the left side of the steering wheel is slightly different if ACC is fitted.


Cheers

When I bought my MY16 car the only options were:

DSG
Sunroof
Driver Assistance Package

There was no premium audio option and leather was standard.

You wrong. Leather was an option until MY16 was released in mid-late 2015. The standard was the awful grey/cream colour alacantra/cloth.

Thanks for the replies. A fair few of the used mk7 R's do have the fabric seats - seems to feature on the earlier 2014/15 ones.

Any idea of there is a visual way to tell in photos if the Driver Assistance Package is fitted?

The drivers assist radar will be a black box in the lower front grill under the VW badge
Quite a ugly looking thing makes a mess of the lower black grill
Easy to spot in photos tho
VW fixed it in the 7.5 now its incorporated into the vw badge on the front

Yeah, on pre-MY16 cars, leather was optional at $3,500!

Yep you are right. Guess I just went for one with the lot and dame the cost. Gone now but loved that car.

Interior wise I think you'll see the extra button for the assisted park. If memory serves it's to the right of the shifter, second from the top.
P with a little steering wheel.
