Ladies and gentlemen, has returned to the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet. One of the popular series made by the Golf Cabrio convertible ever from the VW range has been missing since the MkIV model was discontinued in 2003. Nevertheless, the youngest was just a convertible car with a touched-up MkIII front end, so that the last new Golf convertible was actually introduced in 1993. So this is a bit of a milestone.
What the Eos, you ask? A fine question. Probably closer to the Jetta in the first place the name, the Eos next to the Golf Cabriolet (not the New Beetle convertible, which is due, the production end of this year is mentioned before his replacement) continued. The Eos is longer than the Golf Cabrio, although the same wheelbase provides similar interior dimensions. The Eos has a retractable hardtop, while the new Golf convertible fabric roof is the route that both bases. The golf mechanism takes to drop just 9.5 seconds and can be operated up to 18 miles per hour at speeds. With the roof itself as cover, less trunk space is compromised.
A series of six turbocharged, direct injection gasoline and diesel engines will be offered worldwide, five of them with dual-clutch gearbox and three with BlueMotion technology.
There is no word on availability for us in the United States, but given the similarity with the Eos and the company's strategy vis-a-vis the Scirocco, it is quite possible this could remain beyond our reach as this. We have Cabriolet a closer look at the Gulf when it debuts next week at the Geneva Motor Show, but now you can watch the pictures in the gallery below and the details in the press release after the jump.
