Is It A Highline Or Not?

[Voodoo]

having a look at a T5 highline tomorrow but I'm not sure it is a highline as the steering wheel has no controls. It looks leather but otherwise a normal t5 start or trend line wheel. Also there is no highline decal on the boot lid.
Aside from these two things, are there any other things I could see in photos which would confirm my suspicions?
Aside from the multifunction steering wheel. What are the main things which set the highline apart?

Sorry for all the questions but don't want to be duped.

Thanks!

painted bumpers?

I've been looking round a bit more and see a handful of vans advertised as highline with the same plain steering wheel so maybe it isn't necessarily a good indicator.

Check the reg number against for, example an insurance site. Should state HL on V5 too.

Why didn’t I think of that.

Thanks

Next time you will. That’s what forums are for, to share knowledge

Highlines have foglights

T5 or T6? MFSW was an option on the T5 highline

I can't comment on the T5/5.1 but the MFSW was definitely standard on earlier Highline T6s (if not from introduction?) - mine was a factory order Highline PV, built in September 2016, and came with one.

I’m going off my t5.1 Kombi, it was an option in 2015,,,,then when we bought an California it was free on the my18 but an option on the my17...
The Kombi May be different so I stand corrected

Some brochures from March 2017:-

T6 Panel Van / Kombi Brochure (Page 28 - MFSW included in Highline spec)

T6 California Brochure (Page 22 - no MFSW)
T6 California Price List (MFSW was a circa £350 optional extra)

I'm a little surprised by this as I expected the included bells and whistles on a Cali would be at least as good as those on a Highline PV/Kombi.

In summary, if it's a PV or Kombi, the presence of a MFSW is a reasonable starting point for checking Highline spec (though one could have been retrofitted later so you'd also need to look for some of the other things suggested above to be sure).

Would help to know the year of the van as the OP mentions T5 not T6

is it listed online? got any pics?
Ask to see the V5c, for my T6 its listed as "HLN"

 

[Voodoo]

Thanks for all the replies. It was an option on the T5 (2014 reg). V5 confirms it too!

Check to see what cruise control unit is fitted...there was a factory cock up in 2014...

How do I check that?
At the moment it’s working fine.
