ENGINEERED FOR THE MASSES

HERNDON, VA. — The 2009 Eos -- the most re-configurable retractable hardtop

passenger car in the worldwide marketplace – is just another example of how

Volkswagen stays true to its ethos while offering something revolutionary.

In the end, the Eos defines fun, regardless of season or region — and it starts

at $31,615.

Coupe, Sunroof, Convertible Capability

Offered in Komfort or Lux trim levels, the 2009 Eos’ pioneering CSC™ (coupe-

sunroof-convertible) capability makes it the chameleon of the marketplace. A sliding

glass roof, with automatic pinch protection, is incorporated into the retractable hardtop,

which can be opened to let in as much light and fresh air as desired. With the push of a

button, it can literally be a two-door four-seater with sunroof; open air two-by-two; or

simply a coupe (with the shade pulled over head) that comfortably seats four.

The sophisticated roof movement is accomplished via a switch in the center

console that activates eight hydraulic cylinders with mechanical linkages. In just 25

seconds, the hardtop convertible is completely and automatically lowered.

To raise the roof, another click of the roof switch quickly raises the solid panels to

create the protected, quiet interior environment found in traditional coupes. The front

roof panels, including the glass sunroof, slide under the forward roof panels as the entire

roof area rises from the C-pillar to what would be a B-pillar and is stored beneath a rear

deck.

The panoramic, tinted glass power sunroof is integrated into the folding roof of

the Volkswagen Eos – “sandwiched” between roof panels as the hardtop is lowered.

An available Trunk Lid Assistance program with integrated bumper sensors

monitors up to 20 inches behind the vehicle and prevents the roof from operating if any

object or obstruction is detected. Preserving the luggage area is a cargo cover that must

be in place and latched for the roof-lowering actuation to be completed.

Also, just to be safe, the vehicle ignition must be “on” and vehicle speed must

remain below 0.6-mph during roof operation. A status indicator provides warnings if the

roof is not secured – either up or down.

To make top-down driving even more enjoyable, a pop-up, mesh-fence wind

deflector is standard for the front windshield frame of the 2009 Eos. A removable wind-

blocker also can be set up behind the front seats to reduce wind buffeting and increase

top-down comfort.

Exterior

While the Eos is a two-door coupe, it gives the driver and passengers the feeling

and comfort of being in a much larger convertible.

At 173.5-inches long overall with a wheelbase of 101.5-inches, width of 70.5-

inches, and height of 56.8-inches, the dimensions of the Eos enhance vehicle dynamics.

A large track width not only looks good, it helps create extraordinary agility and safe

handling characteristics exhibited by the Eos.

Standard power folding exterior rearview mirrors are heated and incorporate LED

side blinkers and brake lights. The driver side mirror is self-dimming to help prevent

temporary “blinding” from following automobiles.

Interior

The 2009 Eos 2.0T offers a respectable 10.5-cubic feet of cargo space with the roof

closed, and 6.6-cubic feet with the roof retracted. A lockable, rear seat pass-through

allows for transporting some long or bulky items, such as skis.

Inside, the Eos offers an inviting interior -- the dash includes Volkswagen’s

tastefully executed center console, and the side areas are spread out like wings to the left

and right. The centerstack holds exclusively designed air vent apertures bordered in

chrome. Interior trim is available with genuine walnut wood, full brushed aluminum and

metallic-look synthetic interior trim.

The Eos interior can be configured in three colors, with darker colors dominating

the upper areas to ensure a low-gloss, non-reflective environment behind the windshield.

All plastics used in the lower area of the dash are coated with soft-effect paint.

Chassis and Suspension

For optimal ride comfort and control, Volkswagen designed the Eos with a

sophisticated front McPherson strut with triangular wishbones and self-leveling shock

absorbers. In the rear is a fully independent, four-link suspension. Stabilizer bars front

and rear add to roll control and reduce lateral drift. The rear axle is decoupled from the

Eos’ body, ensuring a noise-reduced rear occupant environment that’s isolated from the

activity taking place beneath.

Power-assisted front vented disc brakes (312-mm in diameter) and rear solid disc

brakes (280-mm) are standard. A brake wear indicator – a distinctive Volkswagen feature

applied on many models -- gives owners a tip when it is time for new pads and is

standard. Electromechanical power steering ensures the correct level of assist is always

provided, whether it by on the highway or in a parking lot. A turning circle of 35.8 feet

ensures maneuverability in the tightest of circumstances, an optional Park Distance

Control System supplements the Eos’ “tight spaces” capability, and a steering ratio of

35.8 ft. delivers the responsiveness and on-center feel – on switchbacks or the highway --

expected of a Volkswagen.

Engine and Transmission

Beneath the Eos’ bonnet is a sophisticated, 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine

that is both efficient and sporty, and all Volkswagen. The standard powerplant uses a

turbocharger and an intercooler for cool, higher-density intake air -- high-end breathing is

further enhanced by four valves per cylinder with variable valve timing and a

compression ratio of 10.3:1. An advanced direct-injection delivery system ensures

optimum fuel consumption without sacrificing performance, and drive-by-wire throttle

control ensures responsiveness and feedback the moment the accelerator is depressed.

Between 5100 and 6000 rpm, the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine

delivers 200 horsepower. Torque peaks out at 207 lbs.-ft. between 1800 and 5000 rpm.

With either the standard six-speed manual or progressive DSG® six speed automatic

transmission with Tiptronic®, zero-to-60 miles per hour is achieved in a very efficient

7.4 seconds with an electronically governed top speed of 130-mph.

Both transmissions are optimally geared, with the manual’s final drive ratio at 3.94,

and the automatic’s at 4.06. Fuel economy is an EPA-estimated 21 miles per gallon on

the highway, and 23-mpg in city driving with the manual; with the automatic the

correlating numbers improve to 21 city/30 hwy.

Like the 2.0T FSI engine and CSC transformability, the dual-clutch DSG

transmission is but one of the Eos’ technical highlights and utilizes direct shifting – a

VW-family exclusive innovation -- that automatically engages and disengages gears

without the need for a clutch pedal. Instead, a computer engages one clutch on the next

gear needed, just as it releases the other clutch from the previous gear. The shifts are

seamless and happen without the power loss associated with a traditional, clutched shift.

The DSG transmission gives drivers a choice of fully-automatic operation, with no

further driver involvement necessary beyond selecting “D.” The advanced

transmission also offers automated manual shifting for drivers who prefer to be more

involved in the gear-change process. The DSG with Volkswagen Tiptronic® lets drivers

shift gears up and down with a tap of the gearshift selector or finger-operated shift-

paddles mounted to the steering wheel.

Active and Passive Safety

Like all Volkswagens, the Eos includes the Prevent and Preserve Safety System,

consisting of more than 45 safety features. As standard safety equipment, the Eos

includes – but is not limited to -- six airbags (dual front; dual front side thorax combined

with side curtains); rear-impact optimized front head restraints; front seatbelt pretension

with load limiters for front and rear occupants; and three-point safety belts in all four

seating positions with (two front, two rear) with emergency locking retractors. The Eos

also carries an automatic Rollover Protection System where elements (roll bars) are

extended -- via spring tension -- behind the rear head restraints in front, side, rear

collision and rollover events.

Eos, like all 2009 Volkswagens, comes standard equipped with the Electronic

Stabilization Program (ESP). This is important because the National Highway and

Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has reported that ESC results in 35 percent fewer

single-vehicle crashes and 30 percent fewer single-vehicle fatalities in passenger cars.

Volkswagen is one of the only original equipment manufacturers to provide an electronic

stability control system on their entire product line as standard equipment – ahead of the

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) deadline requiring vehicles

in the 2012 model year to include stability control systems. ESP compares the driver’s

intended course with the vehicle’s actual direction; if ESP detects a discrepancy, ESP

automatically brakes individual front or rear wheels and/or reduces engine power as

needed in certain driving circumstances to help maintain directional control.

Warranty

The 2009 Eos comes with 24-hour Roadside Assistance for four years or 50,000

miles (whichever occurs first), plus new vehicle warranties including:

• Five-year/60,000 mile (whichever occurs first) Powertrain Limited Warranty.

• Three-year/36,000 mile (whichever occurs first) New Vehicle Limited Warranty

with wear and tear items and adjustments.

• 12-year unlimited distance Limited Warranty against corrosion perforation.

The Eos, like all 2009 model year Volkswagens, is included in the no-charge

Carefree Maintenance Program. Under this program all of the Eos’ scheduled

maintenance, as described in its maintenance booklet, is covered for the length of the

New Vehicle Warranty—three years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Since all

current Volkswagens, including the Eos, use synthetic oil, combined with state-of-the-art

German engineering, a 5,000 mile oil change is no longer necessary. This means that like

all current Volkswagen owners, Eos drivers can travel farther between oil changes.

Electronic Stabilization Program Technology Backgrounder

All 2009 Volkswagens come standard equipped with Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP). ESP has been called the most important safety device since the safety belt and the most important safety advance of this generation. To paraphrase one auto writer, “it’s like having a guardian angel as your co-pilot.” ESP Snapshot

• Helps prevent oversteer and understeer (fishtailing). • Uses technology applied in the Stealth aircraft to keep it aloft to measure the spin

of the vehicle. • Applies computer technology to help the driver maintain control. • NHTSA research found ESC could save 10,000 lives a year.

ESC Advantage

Multiple studies from the U.S., Europe and Asia have concluded that vehicles equipped with ESC have in the range of 35 percent fewer crashes. NHTSA studies conducted specifically in the U.S. concluded that passenger cars equipped with ESC experienced a 30 percent reduction in fatal single vehicle crashes. The same study concluded that SUVs equipped with ESC experienced a 63 percent reduction in fatal single-vehicle crashes. The NHTSA research saw a reduction in crashes that also involve a rollover by more than 70 percent. The studies conducted by NHTSA and others reached similar findings when it came to reducing the incidence of crashes overall: vehicles equipped with ESC saw a significant net reduction in crashes. The agency predicts that ESC could save 10,500 lives and prevent between 168,000 and 252,000 injuries every year. That equates to more than $40 billion savings in economic losses in the U.S. alone. One independent study conducted in 2006 by the prestigious Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) concluded that ESC could prevent nearly one-third of all fatal crashes and reduce the risk of rolling over by as much as 80 percent. ESP takes advantage of the great advances in electronics that have occurred in the past 20 years to be in the vanguard of active or primary safety systems. ESP is the sum of three functions — antilock brakes that enable individual braking and control at the four comers

of the vehicle, traction control which affects acceleration, and yaw control that addresses the spin of a vehicle.

ESP is a vehicle control system comprised of sensors and a microcomputer that continuously monitors how well a vehicle responds to the driver’s steering input and selectively applies individual brakes and modulates engine power to help keep the vehicle traveling along the path indicated by the steering wheel position. If an unstable condition develops — such as a sudden evasive maneuver or going too fast through the curve of a freeway exit ramp — within a fraction of a second, ESC intervenes via engine electronics and the brake system to help align the vehicle with where the driver is pointing the vehicle.
