Encyclopedic overview
The Volkswagen Eos is a compact car manufactured and marketed by Volkswagen from 2006 to 2016. It is a two-door convertible which seats four passengers. The Eos has a five-section hardtop retractable roof which itself featured an independently operable glass sunroof. VW marketed the body configuration as a CSC (coupe-sunroof-convertible).
Assembled at AutoEuropa in Portugal, the Eos succeeded the Golf Cabriolet. Eos production ended in May 2015, with a limited number of base trim models marketed as 2016 models in the United States.
