As one of the world’s most successful convertibles the new Eos has been technically perfected, visually updated and enhanced with numerous features which all add to creating a fun driving experience.
With its panoramic sunroof, allowing the rays to flood the interior while keeping cool and to savour the cooling temperatures of the Arabian evenings, with the click of a button the five piece folding steel roof transforms the Eos from coupe to a convertible in 25 seconds.

The Eos comes with a stunning hardtop dual technology design, boasting a full-width integral glass sunroof, which slides and titles, making it the perfect choice for the Middle East’s climate extremes.
