Volkswagen designed the new coupe named, Volkswagen Eos, retractable hardtop design combines the open-air experience of a traditional ragtop with the security and all-season comfort of a coupe’s fixed roof. Volkswagen Eos is still use current body for some time and expected to get a more significant refresh for the 2012 model year.

The engine produces 208-horspower, and could be had with either dual-clutch transmission or a six-speed manual transmission. The car get the 2.0-liter diesel engine generating maximum power of 138-hp, and having the same transmission options.
