The interior includes another first – VW’s easy-entry seats that remembers front seat positions when seats are moved to allow rear seat passengers in and out. Safety features include safety-optimized front headrests and special front-side head-thorax airbags.

If you’re looking for more the Eos will also offer an optional Dynaudio 10-channel, 500-watt sound system and bixenon headlights with dynamic and static cornering lights.
