New V6 FSI, full conformance to Euro-5 standard

A new V6 gasoline engine being used in the Volkswagen Phaeton is an FSI engine (direct gasoline injection); it has 3.6 liter displacement and 206 kW / 280 PS. This engine is replacing the 3.2 liter V6 with 177 kW / 241 PS. The comfortable FSI develops a maximum torque of 360 Newton-meter, which is constantly available between 2,500 and 5,000 rpm and guarantees impressive high-torque performance. The maximum power of the twenty-four valve six cylinder is output at 6,250 rpm.

Powered in this way, the luxury sedan - with its standard 6-speed automatic, 4Motion all-wheel drive and electronically controlled air suspension - exhibits agile driving performance. The Volkswagen Phaeton V6 FSI reaches the 100 km/h mark from a stop in 8.6 seconds, and its top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h. Its average fuel consumption is 11.7 liter Super. CO2 emissions were reduced from 288 g/km to 273 g/km.

Besides the new 3.6 liter FSI, the two other more powerful V8 and W12 gasoline engines with 246 kW / 335 PS and 331 kW / 450 PS, respectively, already satisfy the Euro-5 emissions standard that takes effect in September 2009. It was one of the first engines in the world to conform to this standard at the beginning of 2007, due to its extremely fuel-efficient V6 TDI with 3.0 liters displacement and common rail direct injection (171 kW / 233 PS).

Is this coming to the US again?

561design · 10-02-2008, 07:28 AM

I don't think so. It was horrible in the US market. No one was willing to pay that much money for a VW.

zetaxi165 · 10-02-2008, 07:35 AM

It did horribly in every market.

Doesn't have the image to play in the luxury segment.... and neither does it have the looks.

sinnet112 · 10-02-2008, 09:56 AM

That looks the same as the previous model..?

BK · 10-02-2008, 10:02 AM

V6? I thought they made these things with like a V12? Shows how much I know.

Ditto. They probably had hundreds of unsold units in storage that they're busting out as 09 models.

Raja Ventureshield · 10-02-2008, 02:15 PM

r u sure this is 09? looks not much different

nd54 · 10-02-2008, 02:24 PM

I'm sure the Phaeton's dozens of fans and owners will be able to tell the difference.

In the US market there was a W8 and W12 version. I guess in capacity/CO2 conscious Europe they have Tdi and V6 models as well.

KL2DC · 10-02-2008, 02:27 PM

The Phaeton wasn't all bad though, just misunderstood and overpriced. The craftsmanship/quality was amazing. Sales were dismal, Bentley did a better job with the platform though...

UltimateBMW · 10-02-2008, 02:36 PM

boring.

Year's_End · 10-02-2008, 04:02 PM

That's a very modest exterior facelift.

Neil · 10-02-2008, 04:50 PM

Since VW and Audi are one and Audi already has the spectacular A8, why even bother wasting their money. Leave the luxury to Audi and VW as their mainstream line.

!Xoible · 10-02-2008, 04:51 PM

looks very dated

Deda · 10-02-2008, 05:00 PM

same car,new alloys..boring car.

Hula-Hula · 10-03-2008, 03:48 AM

Phaeton was one of Volkswagen's most EPIC FAIL

Wait, this isn't a Passat?

footie · 10-05-2008, 08:56 AM

Maybe didn't have the image to sell in any market, especially under the VW badge but as a luxury car it did a lot of things very well indeed and in some ways was among the best out there.

It was designed to compete with the then out shaped S-class but since then this market has changed slightly to a more sportier drive and image. But as a second hand luxury car there is few better for the price.

quest556 · 10-05-2008, 09:27 AM

I'd rather have a Hyundai Genesis.
