The overview

The Eos convertible can be considered the successor to the Volkswagen Cabrio, in that it's a Jetta-based four-seater equipped with a folding metal hard top. However, the Eos is much more luxurious than the Cabrio ever was. One novel feature for a convertible is a built-in sunroof that can be opened when the hard top is closed. The seats are comfortable and interior fit and finish are impressive. Head-protecting curtain airbags are housed in the doors. Power comes from a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, with Volkswagen's responsive sequential-shift DSG transmission. A 3.2-liter V6 is available with 2007 and 2008 models. The manual transmission was dropped in 2012. A rear-view camera became available beginning with the 2013 model year. The final year of production was 2015.

Behind the data

Latest source update: September 11, 2026

Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.

Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
