Chassis
The chassis is also configured for the special requirements of a cabriolet.
The Eos therefore has an enhanced strut front axle that is based on the Golf 2004 front axle.
The multi-link rear axle with aluminium hub carriers comes from the Passat 2006.
On the front and rear axle, we have made sure that the springs, dampers and the stabilisers have been configured
for sportiness. The second-generation electromechanical power steering is supplemented with the counter-steer
support function. It allows stable straight running in cross winds or on roads that are inclined sideways.
The brakes have been optimised and have hydraulic brake assist
and ABS with ESP function as standard.
