No major changes to report for the Volkswagen Eos’ 2013 edition. This convertible is still powered by the same 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that comes in several of this German company’s products. With a total horsepower of 200 and a torque of 207 lbs.-ft., the Eos engine is matched with a dual-clutch 6-speed automatic transmission. Until 2011, there was a manual transmission available with this vehicle, but that is no longer the case.
