VOLKSWAGEN has launched a long wheelbase variant of its luxury Phaeton.

The car offers 120mm of extra wheelbase and all models come with extra equipment as standard over their shorter wheelbase models.

These include a rear console to operate the electronic climate system, rear side window sunblinds and an electrically-operated sunroof and rear screen sunblind. The range is on sale now and prices start at £54,265 on-the-road for the 4.2-litre V8.
