Thanks for the pics. Interested to know if the badges are any different between 176TDI 4Motion and 176TDI 4XMotion? I think I see an additional tailgate badge on 4XMotion but cannot make out what it says?

Also I see on your TDI150 spacesaver tyre pic an air compressor (top right) ... presumably intended only for inflating the spare. Are there any provisions to be able to inflate other tyres?

Your 176TDI 4XMotion appears to have air suspension? And Sports Interior Package (although could not see paddle gear shift)? Yes or no? Curious because I have ordered 4XMotion with air suspension and sports interior package sight unseen - my dealer only has 150TDI and 176TDI 4Motion.

Did you check space saver in 4XMotion? Does it have same air compressor as TDI150?

Yes, all models have the same spare/air compressor.

Most likely "Bluemotion"

The compressor is the same from the last model, quite capable of inflating all tyres if needed.

That is a sports packaged interior, the paddles are smaller than the lst models, much like the Golf GTI/R ones now.

Also of interest you would see the tow eye in the tool kit (above the air compressor) there is space molded to have two eyes there but only one is supplied - the owners hand book even talk about two tow eyes. On delivery of my Touareg I looked in all 4 at the dealers and all the same - one tow eye.

Cost cutting measutre by VW? Or else someone in the supply chain now has a shed full of VW eye bolts.
