THE Volkswagen Eos coupe cabriolet is to mark its first anniversary in the UK with the introduction of a new range-topping trim level - the Eos Individual.

The Eos Individual is based on the Sport trim, and benefits from unique interior and exterior styling touches.

With sports suspension, 18in Chicago alloy wheels and bespoke leather upholstery it offers buyers a distinctive package and lends extra style to the Eos's already head-turning looks.

Lowered and stiffened suspension gives the Individual a more purposeful stance and sharper responses. The car's appearance is complemented by the unique wheels and a selection of four exterior paint colours - Paprika Red, Deep Black pearl effect, Midnight Blue metallic and Island Grey.

Rich two-tone black and cream coloured leather seats finished in contrasting piping lend the new Eos Individual's interior a distinctive look and feel.

Powering the Eos Individual are a choice of 2.0 litre TDI 140PS diesel, 2.0 litre T-FSI 200PS and 3.2 litre V6 FSI 250PS petrol engines. The advanced six-speed DSG gearbox is fitted as standard on the V6 model and offered as an option on the 2.0 litre diesel and petrol engines.

As with the standard vehicle, the Eos Individual is fitted with an advanced, five-piece glass and metal folding roof that stows neatly into the boot at the touch of a button. The whole operation takes only 25 seconds. The roof also incorporates a sunroof.

The new Eos Individual can be ordered now, with the first UK deliveries set to start in August. Prices start at £24,747 for the Eos Individual 2.0 litre TDI 140 PS, rising to £29,527 for the range-topping 3.2 litre V6 FSI 250 PS model fitted with a DSG gearbox.
