colour choice is the same as normal and looks like the normal red is only going to be that deep metallic kings red ,the smokey grey looks a nice colour tho ,
is dcc a option with the proper damper control as i have herd might be a hard ride witch is nice to adjust on some of these crap roads !
just thinking at the moement :|
You should be able to check out the standard spec of the car (click on ‘show all standard equipment’), plus what extra options are available in the configurator on VW’s website - there is a risk the spec details may be inaccurate as VW have a reputation for errors and inconsistencies in their product information!

Forum members may not be able to answer your specific questions on the ED 25 GTI if order books are open but no one has taken delivery yet - it might be a case of researching via various road test reviews on motoring websites or YouTube videos.

I went for the ascot gray. I currently have a reef blue Polo gti 2019, so I thought this would be a nice change.

On UK spec cars, DCC is standard both on GTI and GTI ED25. Beats audio doesn’t currently appear to be available on the UK Polo range - that’s assuming the configurator on the VWUK website is accurate (it’s not always - historically it’s not unknown for there to have been errors). You can check the standard equipment for the ED25 in the configurator (see my earlier post from Sept this year at the top of page three of this discussion thread - includes a link to the configurator and a screenshot showing where to access the standard equipment information); DCC is the second item listed under ‘Driver’s Assistance’.

Which test car are you referring to? If it was in a YouTube video or on a motoring website, those test cars are often pre-production models or non UK spec cars, so the level of equipment doesn’t necessarily reflect what you’d get in the UK. Also, it’s not unknown for VW to periodically change the spec of their cars and the availability of certain options, and those changes aren’t necessarily enhancements - they can involve downgrades.

Three new (non VW promo) youtube videos of the 25th. Cars seemed to have started arriving in parts of mainland Europe (Holland).

And an older non VW promo one in case anyone missed it.

You made this same observation regarding Beats audio just over a week ago four - your post dated 12/12/2023 and my reply of the same date.

Most - if not all - the ED25 models with Beats logos on the A pillar mounted tweeters in pictures and videos seem to be left hand drive cars, so they won’t be UK spec cars. UK spec GTI ED25’s don’t have Beats audio as standard and it isn’t available as an extra cost option.

This is the standard in-car entertainment and communications equipment for UK spec ED25’s (taken from the configurator);

And the only available in-car entertainment / communications extra cost option for the ED25 is Nav Pro;

Agree, it would have been nice if it was. However, in spite of the price point, the GTI ED25 will probably sell well enough without VW having to add any more equipment.

If I was currently in the market for a new Polo GTI, I personally wouldn’t be looking to get a GTI ED25 - I’d be looking at the in-stock cars at dealerships to avoid the wait time for a car to be built. I’d pick one of the in-stock cars that most closely met my requirements in terms of colour and options (I’d be happy to travel for the ‘right’ car). There are currently 36 brand new Polo GTI’s for sale on Auto Trader and some have a decent discount off the list price.

There are also a couple of in-stock GTI ED25’s on Auto Trader for sale. Not sure if they’re pre-registered or not; one has 10 miles on the clock and the other, 4 miles, so even if pre-registered they’re effectively brand new.

I was browsing through the available Gti’s on the official dealer network and the prices being asked are around £2K higher than a well spec’d pre-order. In fact the majority of them only had the basic extras such as alloy wheels and/or spare wheel
