2012 vs 2013 onwards Alltrack

[Mc_Gusto]

Hi guys

Aside from the engine upgrade, are there any distinguishing features between the 2012 and 2013 onwards Alltrack?
The reason being is I wanted to buy a 2013 onwards and I’ve found a vehicle I’m interested in which is advertised as a 2013, MY13.5 (which has the upgraded engine) however the compliance date on the car is Jan 2013. How would I be able to tell whether it is in fact the facelift model? Is there a simple way to confirm this?
Thanks

To a degree the Compliance Plate Date is irrelevant.
The Build Date in this occasion is most likely the most important date you need.
In the B7, there should be 125kw / 350Nm (CFGB) and 130kw / 380Nm (CFGC) engines.

Anything complied in Australia in January 2013 would be a 2012 Build vehicle.

So, that would actually be a MY13 125kw / 350Nm (CFGB) (September 2012 release date)

To get into a MY13.5 130kw / 380Nm (CFGC) (February 2013 release date)

I hope this info helps you...

Thanks it does

Interestingly when you use red book and carsales and put in a 2013 Alltrack it gives you the upgraded spec which is what is happening here as according to the aus records (rego etc) it is a 2013 vehicle
Is the difference worth me worrying about?
