The Eos, Volkswagen's new convertible coupe, is available to order now ahead of launch during July, with prices starting at £19,385.
The four-seater Eos combines the benefits of a full convertible and a hard-top coupe. Yet it is unique in its class, being the only convertible coupe with a tilt and slide sunroof fitted as standard.
The folding hard-top is made-up of five parts, enabling the roof to fold neatly into the boot, occupying minimal space. Two trim levels are available: standard and Sport. All models feature ESP (Electronic Stabilisation Programme), and twin front and combined curtain and side impact airbags for front and rear passengers. Semi-automatic air conditioning, fog lights, electric windows, electric heated and adjustable wing mirrors, radio/CD player, 16-inch alloy wheels, parking sensors and lockable load through provision are also standard.
The Eos will be offered with a choice of five engines: four petrol and one diesel. These include the 1.6-litre FSI 115 PS; 2.0-litre FSI 150 PS; 2.0-litre T-FSI 200 PS; 3.2-litre V6 250 PS; and 2.0-litre 140 PS TDI. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, while the 200 PS petrol and the TDI are offered with Volkswagen's innovative DSG automatic gearbox; this 'box is standard with the V6 engine.
Sport trim adds 17-inch alloys, sports suspension, upgraded audio player, aluminium-look pedals, decorative aluminium dash inserts and a tyre pressure monitoring system. And at the top of the line-up, 17-inch 'Westwood' alloy wheels, Vienna leather trim, auto dimming rear view and driver's wing mirror, rain and dusk sensors and folding wing mirrors are standard with the 3.2-litre V6 FSI 250 PS engine.
Available to order now are the manual versions of the 2.0-litre FSI 150 PS, 2.0-TDI 140 PS, and Sport 2.0-litre T-FSI 200 PS, with other models arriving in autumn. |
