The new Phaeton has been designed to be absolutely unique; all the shapes follow new paths and the design reflects a new, confident generation. Harmonious and powerful body lines underscore the dynamic properties of the Phaeton.

A refreshingly clear and modern elegance dominates the progressive passenger compartment. The concise technological and creative concept of the Phaeton is easily accessible in the interior. Although there are no other familiar details from other models on the Phaeton, apart from the Volkswagen logo, all the control elements seem immediately familiar as they are always unequivocally, clearly and attractively designed.

The Phaeton offers above-average spacing. The so-called comfort dimensions (interior passenger space), rear knee space and the front shoulder space are all best in class.

As with every detail, the seating on the Phaeton has also been completely redesigned. The front seats have a 12-way electrical adjustment system as standard. Standard on the Phaeton V10 TDI and an option in the Phaeton V6 TDI and Phaeton V8 is an 18-way system plus memory, climatisation and massage function.

In addition, the saloon can be further upgraded. This includes special equipment such as navigation systems, telephone fixture, TV, various leather seat packages, heated steering wheel, the lock and start system Keyless Access or the largest solar sunroof of the competition.

Finally, the customer can choose extras from the Phaeton customisation programme such as further types of fine wood with integrated marquetry.
