After Volkswagen's has confirmed that the next-gen Phaeton will be offered in the United States - the car will introduce a new design direction for VW when it arrives in showrooms in 2015.
Design boss Klaus Bischoff told Auto Express that the current range of Volkswagens look very similar.
“Flagship models like the Phaeton should act as halo products and influence the way the other cars in the range look, rather than the other way round,” he added.
Bischoff also criticised models in the company’s current line-up for looking too similar, but will bestow each model with individual design characteristics.
Bischoff believes that “There will be a specific look for saloons, one for our SUVs, one for the people carriers and one for our hatchbacks."
Like the current model, the next Volkswagen Phaeton wouldn’t compromise practicality or driving experiences.
