Nice, so sounds like it’s getting the bigger screen from the ID.4. Some better interior materials would be very welcome too!

Actual text concerning November changes Google translated from this article - www.autobild.de/artikel/vw-id.x-test-pr ... 31021.html - from an interview with Brand CEO Ralf Brandstätter:
"In the interior, some things are already being changed here that bothers customers the most - and what VW will bring in new equipment lines for the ID.3 from the end of November 2021 . 12-inch instead of 10-inch screen , the unpopular sliders finally illuminated, better fabrics, interior door surfaces covered with Alcantara. "The buyers' criticism has arrived," says Brandstätter, the facelift will be brought forward to the beginning of 2023 , where there will be, among other things, completely new interior door panels, decorative stitching instead of plastic in garbage can gray, a new front apron and hood, the blind split rear lights will really shine in the future. Jozef Kaban, the new chief designer, is responsible for the changes that are intended to enhance the ID.3."
Bearing in mind Google translate also has in the same article "Now he has locked himself away with his team, tinkering, testing, screwing. The goal: Can there be more?" we could well be missing out on nuances...

I don't, given I don't expect the article linked by the OP to be accurate
However it stands to reason (and our previous experience!) that if VW are making interior changes in November, those interior changes will be detailed in the brochure if they're as visible as claimed (bigger infotainment etc). Our old Tiguan had an infotainment upgrade between point of order and point of build under identical circumstances, and the brochure change was dated at exactly the switchover date to the new style infotainment.

The article refers VW as the source, so this could well have been in the making for a while and they are announcing it now. We'll find out soon enough.Utumno wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 10:21 pmI don't, given I don't expect the article linked by the OP to be accurate

The article isn't explicit, but it seems to be fully based on info received from VW, even when not in quotation marks. Given that they have VW quotations I would expect VW Comms to have looked it over before publication as well.
As noted, we'll find out soon enough.
All the best

When we ordered our e208 last year the spec was changed substantially after we ordered and dealers had no information on it and the brochure and website did not have the new information until after our car was delivered. Basically Peugeot decided to create a new GT Premium model and remove some items from the spec of the GT to downgrade it from top of range...which we had ordered. Seat upholstery changed, ACC dropped, heated seats dropped, phone charging plate dropped. So quite major but neither dealer or leasing company had any awareness this was in the pipeline until the vehicle arrived at the dealer.
I think lots of car companies are changing specifications these days without much notification as leasing companies now make you sign a document indicating they are not responsible for any unforeseen specification changes by the manufacturer and warn you at contract signing that it might happen!
I guess we will find out in due course...maybe 2021 is just a misprint and it should read Nov 2022.

Have to admit, I read the article and wondered the same. They mention the Beginning of 2023 so announcing in Nov 2022 would make a lot more sense? (lol listen to me - sense!)
Timing-wise it would indeed make sense for the modifications to come on-stream from November 2022, ready for cars being delivered in early 2023 - I suppose these would be the 'new' 2023 model. I also thought that VW had trumpeted the various changes in the model line-up from July this year as being for the '2022 model year' id3, so again, further changes in November next year would appear to make sense.
However, the article does say 'The revised ID.3 coming in just a few weeks will also receive...' so who knows? Also, I understand the new Cupra Born features the 12" screen, and as it is built on the same production lines as the id3, maybe it's just more economic to source and fit 12" screens to both models rather than have two different screens to source/purchase/install? I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

Either way we will get what we ordered or something slightly better! So I am happy either way. ☺Uphamid3 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 27, 2021 3:11 pm Timing-wise it would indeed make sense for the modifications to come on-stream from November 2022, ready for cars being delivered in early 2023 - I suppose these would be the 'new' 2023 model.

I've just been sat with my dealer and we both went through all the MY22 changes. His last update was 22nd October and there was no mention to any changes in the ID.3. The news article in question was dated the 19th October and the Auto Bild article was 18th October. So it seems weird the dealers have not been informed of these changes.
So its any bodies guess what's the story is?

I speak German. You get the drift in the Google translation - except he sounds more serious in the original German.
