It's as I expected - the configurator is (and always has been) just plain wrong ... which means that you had to turn to the brochure for chapter-and-verse. Which now doesn't exist.

I have no idea how VW expect anyone to order their model and trim confidently.

I can't see anything in the older brochures that references them either, so might well be a non-issue

The older brochures specify electric, massage seats in the detail of the pricing of the pack.

That said I also think it’s a non-issue, but people should know what they’re getting when they’re ordering a vehicle!

Not electric, as noted. I don't think it has ever said that.

It has, but in the actual pricing area rather than the marketing puff further up the pdf.

I realise this sounds crazy but I wouldn't place too much reliance on what is stated in the pack pricing details.

The June 2021 brochure pack details stated that the Family edition had a sliding & opening panoramic sunroof. Needless to say that the panoramic sunroof doesn't (and never has been) opening or sliding.

I suspect the VW UK folk who decide on the features in this market just copy & paste some of the brochure details which seem similar from other models and then don't bother to proof-read / fact-check their statements.

That might be so, but the Max and Tour do have electric seats. They would have to have removed them from the spec, because all those built so far have them.

Do the electric front seats of the Max and Tour have memory function for different driver positions?

I suspect dealers saying that the colour change would put you back 6 months on delivery are suffering from
“Can’t be **sed” syndrome!

Not so. You've (as far as I've always known) never been able to change your spec with VW once you've got a build week confirmed; it kicks you out of the queue, and so considering a new order now is looking a 6 months minimum, it seems reasonably accurate to me.
