Volkswagen Debuts New Eos Convertible with Exclusive Package

If you're looking for solid German engineering married with a luxurious interior, but aren't interested in the snob-appeal of a Mercedes, BMW or even Audi badge, look no further than Volkswagen Exclusive. The automaker's luxury-equipment division outfits a variety of VWs with special touches to set them apart.

We recently reported on such a treatment affected on the new Touareg sport-utility vehicle, but now the department has turned its attention to the Eos convertible. As it is Volkswagen just recently unveiled a facelifted version of the standard Eos, complete with a new look, turbocharged engine and new equipment. The Exclusive version upgrades with special two-tone Nappa leather, aluminum and piano lacquer trim, a new steering wheel and door sills. The optional sport suspension is fitted as standard on the Exclusive model, and buyers can choose from two 18" wheel designs. Pricing in Germany where the new Eos debuts start at €35,275 (~$50k).

Volkswagen Touareg Exclusive

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

Volkswagen may not be the first name you think of in luxury, but between models like the Phaeton and Passat CC, the "people's car" company has been going to great lengths to change that perception. Its latest effort involves the new Touareg, for which the Volkswagen Exclusive division has just released a new luxury package.

The Touareg Exclusive is differentiated by extra chrome trim on the outside and two-tone Nappa leather upholstery on the inside. The special seats feature what Volkswagen calls "cool leather" that keeps the surfaces from overheating, and are also heated for colder weather and electrically adjustable in 12 directions. (Bet you didn't know there even were 12 directions.) Olive wood trim, black headliner, special tread plates and a choice of three wheel options round out the package.

Although the Exclusive trim can be specified on any of the diesel, gasoline or hybrid engines available on the standard model, at this point the special Touareg is only available in Germany, starting at €58,150.
