Taking its name from the Greek goddess of the dawn, the Volkswagen Eos is an exceedingly slinky sports car. Its luxury interior and powerful engine make for one very blissful driving experience.
Different generations of used Volkswagen EOS
The Volkswagen Eos roadster blends a range of features and styling concepts from other class-leading models. Though it shares the same platform as the hatchback version Audi A4 cabriolet, the Eos is longer and wider. It also has a suspension system taken from the Volkswagen Passat. Volkswagen borrowed chrome grills from the VW Jetta and added uniquely designed headlights to help make the Eos stand out from the Golf. However, the plan didn't work out well, as VW finally replaced the Eos badge with that of the Golf, resulting in the Golf Cabrio. Under the hood of the Eos is a wide range of VW engines, ranging from a quick 2.0-litre turbo to a highly frugal BlueMotion Technology engine. The Eos takes an average of 7.1 seconds to sprint from 0-62 mph and reaches a maximum speed of 144 mph.
Volkswagen might have got it right with the first-generation Eos, as the model didn't receive any significant changes throughout its lifetime, starting from 2006 and ending 2015. The Eos came in 3 trim levels: the SE, the Sport and the Exclusive. Each Eos trim range maintained the same list of features and equipment, regardless of the production year. The base SE trim comes with:
In 2014, VW added a DAB radio to the list of standard features, but regardless, you still don't get much in the SE trim. The Sports spec, as its name suggests, gave the Eos a sportier appeal, packing sporty features like:
The Eos Exclusive got all the same features as the Sports spec, except for the sports seats, and it also had headlight washers and plush leather seats. There was an assortment of optional upgrade packs made available for each of the Eos trim lines, too.
