Volkswagen Eos

Category: By Jage

Features:
AFS:
The Adaptive Front Lighting System comes standard with your Eos' Bi-Xenon™ headlamps and actually turns the headlamp up to 15 degrees in the direction you're headed while cruising at freeway speeds. At slow speeds, AFS turns an additional bulb in the direction you're turning with the flick of the blinker.
Optional In: VR6

Anti-intrusion Side Door Beams:
VW uses steel reinforcements in the doors which are designed to absorb and redirect impact energy upon a side impact - basically creating a steel cage to protect passengers. Sounds good on paper. Even better on impact. Standard In: Turbo, Komfort, Lux, VR6

Automatic Door Locks:
Once a VW hits 8 miles per hour, the doors automatically lock. This helps to keep the passengers safe inside the cabin of the VW. Just pull the handle twice to unlock the doors, or push the unlock button. Standard In: Turbo, Lux, Komfort VR6

Convertible Roof:
The Eos is the world's first hardtop convertible with a sunroof. And it goes down and hides in the trunk in just 25 seconds. Standard In: Turbo, Lux, Komfort VR6

Diversity Antenna:
An antenna system which has 2 physical antennae. Whichever antenna has the stronger signal for any given channel is used as the receiver, making sure you get the best reception possible. Standard In: 3.2L Optional in: Lux, VR6

Heated Washer Nozzles:
What good are washer nozzles if they are frozen closed? Your washer nozzles on your VW can heat up to keep ice from forming over them. Standard In: Komfort, Lux, VR6

Integrated Mirrors:
he side view mirrors have the blinkers built right into them. This helps to make your VW safer because it clearly signals vehicles to the left or right of your VW when you're turning or changing lanes. And as an added bonus, it's easier for the driver to spot when you're driving with your blinker on. Standard In: Turbo, Komfort, Lux, VR6

Laser Seam Welding:
The welding technique is used in key areas on the VW Eos. It’s seamless and helps create a more rigid vehicle. Which equals less flex. Which equals a safer ride with better handling. Plus. Plus. Standard In: Turbo, Komfort, Lux, VR6

LED Technology:
he rear markers, brake lights and turn signal lights are all illuminated using Light Emitting Diodes. LEDs illuminate instantly, and they user less energy and last significantly longer than standard light bulbs. Good for safety and the environment. Standard In: Turbo, Komfort, Lux, VR6

Rain-sensing Wipers:
With rain-sensing wipers, you don't have to worry about controlling the speed of the wipers in the rain, they'll take care of it for you. A small sensor in the windshield detects how much water is obstructing your vision. And, since Mother Nature can change her mind quickly, these wipers adjust their speed automatically. Standard In: Lux and VR6
