Good evening everyone placed an order a couple of weeks ago and had the order accepted by the factory on the 29th of Jan 2025. Velvet Red Sportsline Plus 85X with Transport Package.
I am not entirely sure if it will be the facelift or the current model as we have no build week yet.

Velvet Red 85X Sportsline Plus with Transport Package ordered 15-01-25, Factory Accepted 29-01-25.
It should be whatever was ordered? as far as I'm aware, factory schedule is intended such that all orders of non facelift will be delivered before switch over, hence the differing times of order stops on old model before taking FL orders in various countries.
The website says that the facelift order book opens in march so i suspect yours won't be a facelift

Thanks all that's what I thought just wondered if we'd end up with the same as the 85 line came out and have differences to what was ordered.

When the 85s came out to replace the 80s, people were still getting the 80 that they'd ordered even if it was built several months after the 85 went on sale. I think they schedule what parts make and have brought to the factory in Mlada Boleslaw based on the order sheets - until such time as they have so few of the old model that it's easier to change the order to the new model. Some people did get bumped to the 85, but not that many. Probably because I guess the order sheet is a contract of sorts (between the dealership and Skoda), so they would have to be informed and accept (on your behalf) a change in specification.
During the supply chain shortages in late 2021/early 2022, there was a lot of 'we can build your car now if you don't mind not having this option they you requested' going on. In particular the Family Pack (as it was then) included remote rear child lock controls, and that module just wasn't available. Cars were held up for weeks until Skoda decided the parts just weren't going to arrive so started asking dealers if they could be built without. This isn't unique to VW group by the way - at the same time BMW were changing orders to have manual rather than electric seats on some models due to parts shortages for example.

I ordered an 80 (in Sept 23), but it was built and delivered as an 85. Based on the information given to me by the dealer, I was under the impression that everything that was built after a certain build week was bumped up to an 85, and I knew well in advance that I would be getting an 85. In fact, I took a bit of a risk in ordering an 80 (to take advantage of a finance offer) in the expectation it would be bumped up to an 85.
But who knows whether the same thing will apply for the forthcoming facelift versions.

All Skoda UK have said is that the car may or may not be a facelift model with production due to start around week 10 of the new model. Given that we are now at week six with no build week allocated yet it does seem that it may be a facelift that;s provided but I'll keep everyone up to date, we'd rather have the facelift to be honest as it includes the HUD and area park as standard.
