2012 Volkswagen New Eos Luxury Concept Performance

The Volkswagen new Eos fuses both in great style. This is clearly visible from its new Volkswagen face too: black-painted radiator grille fins with chrome edging, fog lights with chrome surrounds and static cornering lights, as well as halogen main headlights with turn signals housed behind a single clear-glass lens set it apart as a member of the Volkswagen family, yet still convey its independent personality.  Close your eyes, count to 25 and imagine a gentle breeze blowing across your face. For that is exactly how long the five-part CSC roof system takes to disappear out of sight into the tail of the new Eos and transform it from sporty coupé to chic cabriolet.

The VW New Eos has been consistently geared towards optimising fuel consumption and reducing pollutants. That is why the smooth-running, high-torque four-cylinder common-rail TDI engines are fitted with a diesel particulate filter. And regardless of which engine variant you prefer, power is effortlessly transmitted to the front wheels via the 6-speed manual gearbox or the 6-speed DSG dual-clutch gearbox. The TSI engines in the new Eos thrill with their agility, powerful response and perfectly smooth running. Another highlight are the TSI engines with BlueMotion technology, which excel by achieving significantly reduced fuel consumption and low emissions combined with dynamic performance.

The VW New Eos “Light Assist” main beam control system can put an end to this. Using a camera installed behind the windscreen, it can detect oncoming traffic or vehicles driving ahead and use this information to automatically switch between dipped and main beam, depending on the vehicle’s own speed. The headlights are dipped in good time, as soon as the oncoming road user has been detected. The system only switches back to the main beam headlights again once the road user has passed and can no longer be dazzled.

 The VW new Eos is a fully-fledged four-seater, which can offer four individualists all the free space they need. The passengers in the rear also have sufficient room to enjoy every trip to the full. And getting into the rear is made perfectly straightforward too, thanks to the "Easy Entry" function. The entry function even operates electrically if the electrically adjustable front seats are fitted. With this feature, the front seats glide gracefully forwards. Safety and optimum occupant protection are a top priority in the Eos. For this reason, it comes with an active roll-over protection system that is operative whether the hood is open or closed. If need be, its supporting sections automatically shoot upwards by up to 265 millimetres in the space of just 0.25 seconds to protect everyone on board.
