Volkswagen Phaeton 2016 Overview

Volkwagen's Phaeton is a luxury car for people who refuse to flaunt their wealth. If you can afford a hand-built luxury car but don't need to go around with a hood ornament to proclaim your arrival, then you may find that this expensive new VW more than meets your needs. Based on a platform shared with the Bentley Continental GT, the Phaeton received a minor facelift for 2012, incorporating LEDs both front and back. The VW Phaeton is available with two carryover engines, namely a 3.2-litre V6 and a 4.2-litre V8, while a 6.0-litre W12 is supposedly available on special order. All are mated to an automatic tiptronic transmission. Only the long wheelbase body style is sold in this region. The Phaeton includes as standard equipment such things as a new touchscreen navigation system, all-wheel-drive, air suspension, draft-free four-zone automatic climate controls with vents hidden behind wood doors, 12-way front power seats and a long list of safety and driver-assist technologies. Standard safety features includes ABS brakes, anti-slip regulation, electronic differential lock, engine braking control, electronic brake force distribution and electronic stabilization technology, along with front, side and curtain airbags, and a tyre pressure monitor.
