A nice 4 passenger convertible with a hard top
Overview Information
VW has a sleek 4-seat hardtop convertible that is positioned above the Beetle Convertible. The Eos is equipped with several 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder engines. Enthusiasts will prefer the V-6 with 250-bhp. The hardtop can be raised or lowered in 25 seconds, and transforms the convertible Eos into a secure coupe. Even with the top stowed, the Eos has 205 litres of cargo space. A powerful Dynaudio stereo system with 10-speakers and 600-watts is available. Swiveling headlights can follow curves for better visibility at night. Safety features include head-thorax side airbags and a rollover protection system.
What Changed:
New trim level naming: Turbo, Komfort, Lux, and VR6. Leather steering wheel, shift knob and parking brake lever become standard.
