Wolfsburg /Sanya - Volkswagen produces one of the world’s highest quality and most exclusive automobiles at the German Transpa rent Factory (Dresden): the Phaeton. The quality, style and travel ling comfort of this saloon (standard all-wheel drive, air sus pen sion and 4-zone automatic climate control) set their own standards. The Phaeton is offered with two wheelbases as well as two rear seating versions (three seat bench or two individual seats). Now Volkswagen has further perfected the brand’s flagship.

The entire front end was redesigned, including the standard bi-xenon headlights with LED cornering lights. Also tuned to match this look are the new LED rear lights. In parallel, an abundance of new technical features are making their way into the vehicle. They include a new brake system, the Dynamic Light Assist (camera-based, dynamic main beam control) system being introduced in a saloon for the first time, and a navigation system, which can integrate online data in the map display upon request. Moreover, thanks to an optional front camera the Phaeton “sees” traffic signs; speed limit signs are visualized in the instru ment cluster (multifunction display) and the central touchscreen of the centre console. The system will be the first in the world to recognize and display no-passing zone markings. The latest generation of the Phaeton will launch on the market in just a few weeks (Europe in June; China in August).
