2013 D4 Information

[JayBee75]

The details continue to filter through for the 2013 D4.

Highlights are:

Digital radio
3.0l detuned (which we suspected)
Black highlights and black rims - I like!
Leather upgrade available
8 speed

Here are some artcles, I am sure there is more to come but overall seems positive?

MORE options???

This is just going to make it so much harder.

Mind you, the easy decision is the motor. For me, it will be the 185 killer wasps...

Not sure I see the value in that. There are plenty of other useful options I would chose first over what is essentially a cosmetic options.

Now the basic specs are out, the question everyone wants to know - the new pricing!

Will be interesting. The MY13 VW Touareg just put in heaps of options as standard for not that much more coin. The previous owners would be fairly disappointed - air suspension is one of those now standard features.

For the Touareg:
The price of the range-topping 180kW V6 TDI model has increased by $1000 to $78,990 ($83,990 for the 4XMotion version), but Ms Koeckler contends that customers get around $15,000 worth of extras as standard, including new 20-inch alloy wheels and air suspension.

“As it is a big wheel, we are putting air suspension as standard into the V6 models just to make sure the driver and passengers are still comfortable.

“We make it available to make the product more attractive, and you sum up all the option prices from the current MY12 model and it comes to $10,000 or $15,000.”

Air suspension was previously a $6K option!

Just looked up their pricing and 4XMOTION is only available on the $99k+ model. So unless they throw that in next year, we're comparing SUV pricing to a proper 4x4.

I wonder if the 155kw version has the option of smaller wheels

No, the 4XMOTION is $5K over the same 4-MOTION. There are now only three cars - 150TDI, V6TDI (180kw) and V6TDI with 4XMOTION.

Besides, I wouldn't compare the Disco with the Touareg. I only posted the Touareg example to show what one manufacturer did in terms of "upgrades" with such a minimal cost. $1,000 price rise for such a massive increase in standard offering is quite good.

That is wishful thinking
Brakes will be same as MY12 3.0l spec,so Gordons 18's will probably fit,but as for 17's,you will have to dream about them

Don't like the sound of that!!
