Volkswagen Eos
Filed Under Cars, Volkswagen
The Volkswagen Eos, introduced in the year 2006, is a rectangular hardtop, four-seat, adaptable car. It is actually a descendant of the Volkswagen Cabrio. After the Corrado launched in 1995, Volkswagen Eos has been the first production vehicle of Volkswagen. The name “Eos” comes from the Greek word “Eos” which means a goddess of wind and dawn.
Unlike Cabrio, which is an adapted version of Golf hatchback, the Volkswagen Eos is a complete new model with novel ideas for its body panels. However, it does share its components and platform with the Passat (PQ46 platform, mark 6). Its wheel base is similar to that of the Jetta and the Golf Mk5.
The coupe is manufactured in Volkswagen’s factory of Autoeuropa in Palmela, Portugal. It was released in the beginning of 2006 in Europe and in the end of 2006 in North America. In South Africa, it was launched in the mid of 2007. Sales in right-hand- markets such as Japan started in October, 2006 and in Australia and New Zealand, in January, 2007.
