Anyone know what changes there are between the MY17.5 and the soon to arrive MY18.25 if any? There doesn't seem to be a lot mentioned about it so I gather it is most likely very minor?

Also, the addition of an electronically controlled front passenger seat. This upgrade may apply to Ambiente models only? I think the above specs already had this. The 18.25 build started in Sep 17.

My new Trend Wagon has the parking break on the right. It says it’s a September build. Is it an 18.25 then?

Maybe some other 2017 MD owners could comment on what side their handbrake button is, and build date. Last edited by thebigd; 20-12-2017 at 08:46 PM. |

Thanks. Parking break definitely on the right. And says Sept 2017. Sold as a 17.5 on the contract though. Would be cool if they slipped up.

Its a minor update with three changes:
1. Electric park brake moved to right of console. 2. Parking Sensor and Park Assist switches moved to the left of console. 3. Ambiente passenger seat will change from 2 way adjustable to 4 way adjustable. Affect came on from vehicles built 18th September 2017 that would have arrived in Aus in November. |

The Ambiente passenger seat will now get 4 way adjustment instead of 2 way. Not ambient lighting..
The Trend and Titanium should have this already so no change for the seats for those two models. |
