Build My Own Volkswagen EOS - Larson Volkswagen - Serving Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Puyallup, Fife, Washington.

The Volkswagen Eos is ready to deliver the pure thrills that can only be had on the open road, with a versatile three-mode retractable hardtop that allows drivers and passengers to maximize their driving enjoyment all year long. Starting at $32,940, and available in the well-appointed Komfort and Lux trim levels with an array of color choices, the Eos is a pioneer in its class with distinct Volkswagen styling and a German-inspired driving experience.

Matching the innovative exterior design and functionality of the Eos is the drive train nestled under the hood. Driving the front wheels is Volkswagen’s potent 2.0-liter turbocharged and intercooled four-cylinder gasoline engine. Built with efficient performance in mind, the 2.0L is outfitted with four valves per cylinder and variable timing, dual overhead camshafts, and maintenance-free hydraulic lifters. Meticulously managing fuel usage and power delivery is Volkswagen’s fully-electronic system with drive-by-wire throttle control, and TSI® direct fuel injection. The result is an engine that reacts instantly to driver input via the gas pedal, and holds a stout 200 horsepower (5,100 rpm) and 207 lbs.-ft. of torque (1,800 to 5,000 rpm) on tap, all without sacrificing fuel economy.

The Eos comes with two transmission choices to best fit the everyday needs of its drivers. The first is a standard six-speed manual arrangement that includes a ratio of 3.94 in sixth gear, giving the Eos EPA-estimated fuel economy returns of 21 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway, as well as a 7.4 second run from 0 to 60 mph.

The second option is Volkswagen’s variable DSG® six-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic® control. Although its ability to give the Eos a 0 to 60 mph time of 7.4 seconds, and EPA fuel economy ratings of 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway, is impressive, what makes the DSG transmission really stand above the crowd are its technologically-inspired techniques. An automated dual-clutch system, which engages and disengages gears without the need for a driver-activated clutch pedal, pairs up with the DSG’s special computer that allows the transmission to shift faster than a traditional automatic or manual setup. The clutch for the next needed gear is engaged in concert with the release of the previous gear’s clutch, making for performance-oriented shifts that lack any noticeable drop or lag in power. Tiptronic mode stops the transmission’s automated shifting, and gives the driver full control over the gear changes through the tapping of the gearshift lever up or down, or by using the shift paddles mounted on Eos’ the steering wheel.
