VW Eos FD

Volkswagen's Eos convertible arrives in the UK in July and is available to order now.

The cheapest model costs £19,410 and uses a 114bhp 1.6-litre petrol engine fitted to a six-speed manual gearbox.

A 148bhp 2.0-litre petrol costs from £20,790 in standard trim and £21,735 as a Sport model. A turbocharged 197bhp version of this engine costs £23,315 in Sport trim and is available with Volkswagen's DSG semi-automatic gearbox for an extra £1150.

Diesel buyers can opt for a 2.0-litre 138bhp at £21,360 in standard trim and £22,305 for a Sport. A 168bhp version of this engine is likely to be available in the range eventually.

The range-topping Eos is powered by a 247bhp 3.2-litre V6. It costs from £28,095 and is fitted with the DSG gearbox as standard.

Every model has front, side and curtain airbags, stability control, air-conditioning, electric windows and door mirrors, CD player, alloy wheels and parking sensors.

Sport models receive larger alloy wheels, sportier suspension, extra chrome on the outside, aluminium-effect trim on the inside and red rear light clusters. The 3.2-litre model has a leather interior as standard.
