Prices released for new VW Eos

Volkswagen's Golf-based Eos convertible will cost from £19,385 when it goes on sale in July.

The new Eos is essentially a coupe version of the Golf, but with an electrically operated, five-part, hard-top roof which can fold away in 25 seconds.

The hard-top roof also allows the fitting of a tilt-and-slide sunroof as standard to all models.

Five engines are offered, although only three are available to order now. The initial engine line-up includes a 148bhp 2.0-litre FSI petrol engine, a 197bhp turbocharged 2.0-litre T-FSI petrol motor, and a 138bhp 2.0-litre turbodiesel.

During April, 113bhp 1.6-litre and 247bhp 3.2-litre V6 petrol engines will also be available to order.

Six-speed manual transmissions are standard, while the 197bhp 2.0-litre turbocharged engine and the turbodiesel are available with a DSG automatic gearbox. The DSG gearbox is standard with the V6 engine. DSG models are available to order in June.

Two trims are available. Standard trim offers 16-inch alloy wheels, twin front and combined curtain and side airbags for front and rear passengers, as well as air-conditioning, foglights, electric windows and heated wing mirrors, and parking sensors.

As well as these items, Sport models receive 17-inch alloys, sports suspension, an upgraded audio system, and aluminium dash inserts and pedals. Buyers choosing the 3.2-litre V6 model also receive leather upholstery, and rain and light sensors.

Giannis

not that cheap, but not expensive though... still skeptic of the price though

Yannis

Since cars in Uk are more expensive than here in Greece (for less than 2.0 lt engine) i would say that the price here should be around 26k euro for the base model with 1.6 lt engine and around 30 k euro for the 2.0 lt one.

siko

How does that compare to other VW models in the UK?

Centurion

The price is quite understandable since the it has a metal folding roof. The new Volvo C70 has more or less the same price tag.

siko

Same price tag as the C70!!! What a bunch of morons!

Just when I thought VW wised up...

Yannis

C70 is a lot more expensive check here:

Giannis

still expensive...

Yannis

It's close to the price of Megane cc and Peugeot 307 cc so it's a rather fair price.

Giannis

does a 307cc/megane cc cost around 26k (1.6l)? god, i have a long time since i last read the last pages of a car magazine... I thought they costed about 2k less...
