Just been poking around a Superb estate. Neighbour got a new one on Friday and was showing it to me. Didn't want to like it. But it is a very well equipped thing and it's difficult to fault. My favourite toy on the one he has is a concealed tow bar that emerges when you pull on a switch thingy in the boot. He's a senior manager at Bentley and he gets a new car every 4 months, anything he wants (from a given list of VAG cars) so it really doesn't matter much if he decides he doesn't like it !

Yes I thought the tow-bar was cleverly done. Probably the same in other VW group cars.
The SE L Executive is really well equipped and the L&K even more so. To spec and Audi A4 to similar spec would cost a lot. I'm not sure I like the new 9.2" sat nav screen without physical buttons. But Ill have to get used to it.

Its is in fact one made by an outside vendor, and available for most new cars as an extra feature. I am considering one for the BM, not for towing anything, but for fitting a bike carrier. |

Mind you don't fall off, what with your dodgy hip and all...

Yep. MB has offered one for years, first hand-cranked through a socket in the boot floor, latterly electric. The option price is similar to an indy-fit detachable like mine. Might even use ours more than once a year if it was that convenient.

If you're specing an electric retractable towbar you may have to forfeit any spare wheel option as it usually goes into the same space.

I wasn't being manufacturer or model specific. I know with the Ford Galaxy it's one or the other. No idea for BMW or VAG products.
Just to make people aware if a spare wheel is available and selected you may not have the option of an electric retractable towbar.
