Something new
under the sun.

Executive shown in Candy White with rear lip spoiler

Just when you thought you’d seen it all, here comes the Eos. It’s the second generation of the world’s only
automatic folding hardtop convertible with a power sunroof. And it represents our best thinking and design
to date. To top it off, it even seats four. So what does that give you? Essentially two cars in one. A stunning
convertible and an equally breathtaking coupe. We’d call that a major coup for convertibles. And that’s
defi nitely not something you see every day. That’s the Power of German Engineering.

2013 Eos

Style

Information Provided by:

Great style can come from anywhere. And it has the power to change anything.
The Eos takes just 25 seconds to go from coupe to convertible. And about the
same amount of time to alter your whole state of mind. But there’s one thing that
will never change: this car has style, everywhere you look.

Looking good. Nothing is less elegant than fi shing

your keys out of your jacket or purse. That’s why
the Eos has available keyless access with push-button
start.* To keep you calm, cool, and connected.

*See back cover for important information on this feature.

Simply brilliant. Available Bi-Xenon headlights with

LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) and Adaptive
Front-lighting System (AFS) add a bold look to the front
end. And help you see things in a whole new light.

Custom tailored. The gorgeous interior is available

with rich, supple Vienna leather seating surfaces. And
since it has a 12-way power-adjustable driver’s seat,
it’s sure to be the perfect fi t.

Transform yourself. You see how graceful the Eos looks

mid-transformation? We affectionately refer to that
as the butterfl y shot. It kind of gives us butterfl ies just
looking at it.

From top to bottom.

Information Provided by:

Let’s be honest, you’re not always going to be driving with
the top down. That’s why we made the Eos just as exhilarating
with the top up. Open the power sunroof if you want to let
in some of the cool night air. Bask in the dual-zone climate­controlled interior that maintains a constant temperature
and will automatically adjust if you decide to put the top
down. The front seats can be adjusted in all sorts of ways.
And if you start to feel the slightest chill, they’re even heated.
Top up or top down, the Eos has you covered.

No matter where you’re sitting in the Eos, you’ll be at the center of it all. And you’ll know it the second
you turn on the touchscreen sound system. Hear that? That’s HD Radio™ technology pumping through
eight speakers. If you’re craving your own playlist, pop in your favorite CD or plug in your iPod.® Then
call up your friends with the touch of a button and a simple voice command to tell them how good
you’ve got it.* Isn’t it nice when the world and the sun both revolve around you?

The power behind
the scenes.

Being a Volkswagen, it’s only natural that the engine
of the Eos would be just as invigorating as the scenery.
And it’s not just any engine. It’s our most popular
one — a turbocharged 2.0L with the perfect balance
of power and effi ciency.* Kick it into Sport mode for
enhanced acceleration and response.** Enjoy the 6-speed
DSG® automatic while you watch the glimmering city
lights whiz by. Or push it into Tiptronic® so you can shift
manually while you take on a picturesque country road.
Any way you like it, just sit back and enjoy the show.

Safety

Information Provided by:

You know that German engineering you admire under the hood? It’s actually throughout
the entire car. There are more than a dozen safety features specifi cally designed to help
you prevent a collision. And even more to help protect you in the event of one. So no
matter what happens, we’ll do our best to help keep you safe.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC). ESC helps prevent

oversteer or understeer during an evasive maneuver by
applying corrective forces to each of the wheels. In other
words, it helps you maintain control when you need it most.

This is a dramatization and does not depict what will happen in a collision. All airbags will not infl ate in real-world crashes, and if multiple airbags do deploy, they will be in various stages of infl ating/defl ating and will never all be infl ated at the same time. *Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy under all

crash circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age. **The Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS) will only activate in a collision where the airbags deploy or safety belt pretensioners activate. Not all collisions cause airbags to deploy or
safety belt pretensioners to activate.

Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS). After the

airbags* have deployed in a collision, the ICRS
automatically unlocks all doors, disables the fuel
pump, and turns on the hazard lights.** That’s why
we call it intelligent.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). The TPMS

helps monitor tire pressure and alerts you when it is
too low. Properly infl ated tires greatly increase safety by
helping create better stability, handling, and braking in
almost all situations.

Surrounded by safety. In addition to airbags,* every

Eos has a specially reinforced safety cage complete
with hot-formed anti-intrusion side beams and A-pillars,
designed to help protect you in the event of a collision.
Surrounding that are crumple zones that provide space
and material to help cushion and absorb the impact
while the safety cage insulates you.

ABS and HBA. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps

to keep the brakes from locking up during sudden stops
and helps you retain control over the steering during
emergency braking. Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) works
with ABS to help ensure that you get the maximum
braking power from the brake system.

Rollover protection. The Eos comes standard with a

rollover protection system that automatically deploys
hidden steel beams from behind the rear head restraints
to help keep you and your passengers safe in the event
of a rollover.

No-charge scheduled Carefree Maintenance.

Changing your oil, rotating your tires, topping off the windshield
wiper fluid — do you remember to do all that stuff? Your car does.
Right there in your instrument panel. Both it and your dealer will let
you know when it’s time to schedule your appointment. And for
three years, or 36,000 miles, we’ve got you covered. That’s why
we call it carefree. Come by for a courtesy vehicle check within the
first 90 days, or 6,000 miles, and ask us any questions you have
while we give your Eos a basic checkup. Then, come by every year,
or 10,000 miles, for your remaining scheduled maintenance checks.
It’s that simple.

* The Volkswagen Carefree Maintenance Program covers the vehicle’s scheduled maintenance for three years or 36,000 miles,

whichever comes first. Coverage during the term of the new vehicle limited warranty at no additional charge. Some limitations
apply. See dealer or vehicle maintenance program booklet for details.
