Next VW Phaeton To Be Smaller, Cheaper And Powered By Diesel


According to Automotive News, Volkswagen of America CEO Stefan Jacoby has revealed that the next Phaeton will come to the American market with a $55k price tag, a shorter wheelbase and a diesel engine.

The $55k price target would significantly undercut the $70k base price the current Phaeton had when it was pulled from the U.S. market. According to Jacoby, using a turbodiesel engine in the new Phaeton, would allow the luxury sedan to be positioned as the company's technical and environmental flagship.
