VW is currently working on the next-generation VW Phaeton luxury sedan, which will be reportedly released for the 2015 model year. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Volkswagen’s research and development chief also told Inside Line, “The new car will be offered in the U.S.”
The Phaeton hasn’t been sold in the U.S. since 2006, when it was deemed to expensive. The next Phaeton will target models like the Jaguar XJ and will be based on VW’s lightweight aluminum body architecture, which should make it lighter and more fuel efficient.
