2.0 FSI with 110 kW / 150 hp

The combination of direct gas injection and a 2.0 liters capacity leads in the 1,984 cm3 Eos 2.0 FSI to a maximum speed of 210 km/h and an acceleration from zero to 100 km/h in 9.8 seconds. In relation to the sporty performance the consumption is surprisingly low: with this engine set up and a manual six gear transmission the convertible-coupe consumes 8.2 liters fuel per 100 kilometers.


2.0 TFSI with 147 kW / 200 hp

The 2.0 T-FSI, first deployed in the Golf GTI, suits the Eos perfectly with its even at 1,800 rpm motor torque maximum of 280 Newton meters. Its capacity is also 1,984 cm3. Up to 4,700 rpm this motor torque maximum is consistent. The superior front drive vehicle breaks through the 100-km/h mark after only 7.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 232 km/h on the autobahn. The turbo engine uses on average 8.3 liters super plus per 100 km/h. The four cylinder engine, condensed at a ratio of 10.5:1 thus combines the advantages of a homogenous direct injection system with the powerful characteristics of a turbo charge.


3.2 V6 with 184 kW / 250 hp

The Eos 3.2 V6 is delivered as standard with the double clutch transmission DSG - the top model of the series. The center piece of the most powerful Eos is a four valve six cylinder engine with a capacity of 3,189 cm3. Its sonorous sound corresponds to a fascinating power development. All cylinders combined produce 184 kW / 250 hp (6,300 rpm). The 3,189 cm3 sized V6 reaches its maximum motor torque of 320 Newton meters between 2,500 to 3,000 rpm. The new Eos' subsequent driving performance is fascinating: with a top speed of 247 km/h the Eos catapults its passengers from zero to 100 km/h in 7.3 seconds. Consumption: 9.2 liters.

 
2.0 TDI with 103 kW / 140 hp

The 103 kW / 140 hp (4.000 rpm) strong Eos 2.0 TDI reaches a speed of 205 km/h. The four cylinder engine reaches a maximum motor torque of 320 Newton meters even at 1,750 rpm (up to 2,500 rpm). The Eos 2.0 TDI with a diesel particulate filter as standard reaches 100 km/h in 10.3 seconds. According to the specifications the top speed is 206 km/h. Average consumption: 6.1 liters. As standard a manual six gear transmission system transmits the engine output sourced from a capacity of 1,968 cm3 to the front wheel drive.


Double Clutch Transmission System DSG

The DSG-system combines the comfort of an automatic gearbox with a sporty and fuel saving advantages of a manual gearbox. It has six forward gears and changes gear extremely quickly and without interrupting the drive power. The double clutch transmission DSG has sparked a revolution in the field of automatic gearing. This is easily explained: it combines the advantages of a manual gearbox with those of an automatic gearbox, and it's just fun. A lot of fun. The gear changes happen so quickly that even experienced drivers would not be able to keep up changing gear manually. Every gear change is so crisp and at the same time comfortable, that there's a risk ob becoming addicted. Particularly in the manual Tiptronic-modus, where the gears are changed via "+ / -", there is an unprecedented sporty feel.


The new Eos - Running gear

It was the declared goal of Volkswagen's driving gear engineers to fine tune the Eos' both in respect to sportiness and comfort. But it has to be said that the concepts of sport and comfort agree like cats and dogs. Yet in the case of the Eos they get on remarkably well. Technically speaking, with the Golf's McPherson-strut system front axle and the Passat's four link suspension rear axle, the Eos combines two of the best axle systems of our time. Both axles were adapted specifically for the Eos, developed further and tested for hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
