More Room and Additional Features Spice Up VW's Top-Tier Luxury Car
As if it weren't big enough as it is, Volkswagen has stretched out its new full-size Phaeton luxury car, aptly named the Phaeton Long Wheelbase.

Designed specifically for those who ride in back instead of the driver, the sole purpose of this car is to grant additional legroom to rear passengers. To this end the car's wheelbase has been stretched by 120 mm - from 2,881 to 3,001 mm in total.

In keeping with rival stretched luxury models, the Phaeton Long Wheelbase features a more lavish equipment range. In addition to all standard and optional Phaeton features, the new 'limo' model can be had with 'Vienna' leather, a sliding glass rear-mounted roof, sunshades for the rear and rear-side windows, plus a separate rear control unit for the HVAC/audio systems.
