Volkswagen has upgraded the specification on its Phaeton saloon.

All Phaeton models are now fitted with a navigation/radio system with 7-inch colour screen as standard.

In addition, all Phaetons now include the standard fitment of ultrasonic parking sensors, which operate at both the front and rear of the vehicle.

Both features have been added at no extra cost, which VW says, represents a saving of £2,300 including VAT.

In addition, at participating Volkswagen retailers, the recently launched Phaeton 3.0 V6 TDI 4MOTION is available at a recommended retail price of £36,995 OTR, compared with its usual retail price of £41,490 on-the-road.

At the top of the range, the Phaeton 6.0-litre W12 4MOTION has received a power increase from 418bhp to 448bhp.

Both the 5.0-litre V10 4MOTION and 6.0-litre W12 4MOTION models now include the standard-fit 8.5J x 18 ‘Innovation’ alloy wheels with 225/45 R18 tyres and anti-theft wheel bolts.
