2006 Volkswagen Eos

Safety

Safety: the overroll protection system active in just 0.25 seconds

The Eos is, alongside the high strength and torsionally stiff body, equipped with a whole range of standard systems that work together to over a very high level of passive safety. In a rollover accident, for example: the cabriolet/coupé has an automatic overroll protection system which is activated at the C-pillar at the rear of the vehicle at the latest 0.25 seconds after a defined lateral acceleration or vehicle tilt angle is exceeded.
 
For increased safety, Volkswagen has fitted the 2007 Eos with special side supplemental restraint airbags. A driver and front passenger frontal airbag supplemental restraint system includes a Passenger Occupant Detection System (PODS) and head-thorax airbags designed to work in parallel with driver and front passenger frontal airbags. In the event of a crash, the combination airbags unfold horizontally and vertically to cover the entire length of the side windows.
 
Additional safety-enhancing features that are standard equipment on the 2007 Eos include: four-wheel ABS (anti-lock braking system) and an Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP) with brake assist and brake-disc wiper system, Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and an electromechanical power steering setup.

For added safety when the top is down, the Eos has a Rollover Protection System. Spring tension instantly elevates the roll bar-like elements of the Rollover Protection System. In the event of a severe frontal impact, a side or rear collision, or in the case of vehicle rollover or extreme lateral tilt, specially designed individual “roll-bars” pop up from behind the rear seats. 
 

The Eos might not be one of the most beautiful car in the world, but its sex-appeal makes you wishing one!
