Just joined the forum and saying hello.

We ordered our Karoq yesterday.
1.5TSI SE L DSG in Emerald Green with ACC, Heated Windscreen, Electric boot and Park Assist (I am the worlds worst at parallel parking :( )
Have been told it should arrive in about 12 weeks.

We were a little disappointed as when we did our first test drive a few months ago it was in a 1.5TSI Edition DSG and that was the trim level we wanted ...... sad that they only do it in the 2.0Tdi now and as we don't want diesel we can't have Edition.

Welcome Meister,
Congratulations on ordering your Karoq.
The reason the Edition 1.5 TSi is not available at the moment is due to the WLTP regulations. Believe it or not the weight of the pan roof affects the engine pollutants levels just enough so that it does not meet the WLTP.
It might be possible to offer to buy the dealers demo that you drove and cancel the `se `l you have ordered. Though don't expect him to be keen!http://wltpfacts.eu/what-is-wltp-how-will-it-work/

Hi, thanks for that. The dealer sold the demo car a little while ago so that wasn't an option for me.
