Welcome. As Scrogg says you'll get the same car just with the delay I'm afraid. I'm in the same situation as you ordered in February and I tried for the lux pack as compensation and they had none of it. If you contact Seat CS and complain about the unacceptable delay they will have 3 options of compensation they will offer you.

I wouldn’t say keyless is a bonus. I would refuse the car if it comes with keyless (not that it will) and I didn’t order it as I would rather be looking at it on the drive locked up nicely rather than seeing the back end of it as it speeds away off up the road driven by bandits.
I wondered about the lux pack as you mentioned before that we should get AT LEAST the spec ordered, and i read that they have removed the leather/winter pack option. However, both these are in the lux pack and that will have gone through the WLTP.
We have a key box that is shielded, so I am happy that noone could get the car using an RFID type scanner to get the codes. Although I understand your point in general...
"At least" means where the standard specification of a model has increased (full LED headlights on Ibiza FR, for example) SEAT may choose include the enhanced specification at no cost. It doesn't mean that where options specified on a MY18 order takes the specification part of the way towards the next version up the MY19 range that they will just supply the better version for free.
Other than the engine on 2WD CUPRA specification has not changed, so MY18 orders converted to MY19 will be exactly the same.
Neither will make a difference to the CO2 figures under WLTP.
To be fair you do raise a good point. As far as missing options go Kessy & ACC are the remaining ones then it becomes a LUX.
I'm sure kessy originally came with the wireless phone charger.
However Scrogg has spoken
and to be fair he has been very reliable this far.You'd have probably had to order the leather/heated seats and Kessy to get ACC thrown in.
It's a pretty cheaply priced option in comparison to the others. Kessy was around £500 worth of option compared ACC at approx £150.

I get what you mean, I previously had a keyless entry car, but how many cars do you think are stolen due to keyless entry? People these days are scared of the day they've never seen.
I personally know 4 people who've had their car stolen because of keyless entry. 2 VWs, one ford and one Renault.
Id most definitely refuse a car if it came with keyless entry out of the blue.
Loads, lots of videos on YouTube too showing how quick they can do it. I would pay extra to not have it if it was standard.
Leon production continues up to cw31, then closes for four weeks, re-commencing in cw36 (week-commencing 03/09)
Thank you for the info. I suspect my 4Drive will be built after 36 so. Thanks again
I have an FR 1.8 and obviously since buying it all I see on the roads now are Cupra's...... You know that way you buy a particular car and colour then all of a sudden you notice them everywhere....
I don't regret buying my FR, but I do wish they'd but a nice exhaust on it that at least gave it a little purr or growl

spec wise to what people have ordered.
won't get upgraded to a lux pack as that is a different model to what is ordered so the finance won't match up.
if you have ordered option to your car SEAT where possible will add them but if its not possible to add them then they they will be in touch with what to do next. where you will either accept what the car will come with or cancel the car.
Cupra build slots are fully committed now until mid q1 so 'ill just cancel my order' will just get it cancelled.
As regards to when they will start building Cupras again - they are waiting to put the Cupra engine though WLTP, as its only a low selling volume engine its one of the last to be done. We are working towards around week 42 for them to start building with starting to see the first ones though in November.

Don’t know about anyone else but this doesn’t make sense, the timeframe part not the first part.
“Cupra build slots are fully committed now until mid q1 so 'ill just cancel my order' will just get it cancelled”
does that mean all existing orders have build slots or are there orders with no build slots that won’t even be built until next year?

Your first part suggests they are building non stop until q1, this suggests they aren’t building any until November?
sorry should of made that more clear. So any new orders won't be built until next year. orders that are already in will get build sometime in October.
Just a quick note to say I picked up my Cupra ST manual (ordered 14th Feb) last Friday. So just over 21 weeks...
The car is pretty special. I don't want to jinx it, but I had an early (2014) Leon SC FR and it seems the build quality has improved quite a lot. The ride is also (from memory) a fair bit smoother on the Cupra which I can only assume is mostly down to the adaptive suspension.
I handed back my old lease car last week as well. I thought I'd just point out that they didn't charge me anything for damages at all, despite a scuff on an alloy and a few minor marks on the paintwork. I had looked after the car but I was surprised they overlooked everything. Thought I'd post here to balance some of the horror stories people give about additional charges when handing lease cars back.
