I’m going to take a run out to another dealership tomorrow to see if they have any 85s in the show room.
A quick look on the skoda website shows a total of 2 85x sportlines in the country so you probably won’t see one but the 80 to 85 is motor, battery and software so even if you can only see an 80 it’ll give you a very accurate idea. Test drives too, yes the 85x has a touch more power than the 80x but everything else should be utterly comparable.
On another note, I have ordered a black 85x estate last week purely because of the blacked out look. Really fancied the sport blue but didn’t like the look of the black badges on the blue. Would have looked OK on white too but currently in a white tiguan so wanted a change.
