- Welcome to our channel, where we bring you the latest updates on the most thrilling cars in the market.
It sounds dramatic, but there are few newer cars left on this planet like the front-wheel-drive Volkswagen Jetta GLI.
The VW Jetta GLI stays much the same for 2024 with the exception of a limited-edition 40th Anniversary model. Only 1984 (the year Jetta GLI was introduced; not a reference to the famous George Orwell novel) will be built.
The GLI is powered by a turbocharged 2.0 liter four-cylinder with 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is optional. Regardless of transmission, acceleration is significantly quicker compared with the standard Jetta's 158 horse power engine. In our testing, the six-speed-manual GLI hit 60 mph in 6.1 seconds, 0.7 seconds ahead of a similarly-equipped Honda Civic Si. The stick-shift version was easy and satisfying to row. Our only complaint with the automatic was its hesitance to downshift during spirited cornering. Speaking of corners, the Jetta GLI provides feel some steering, strong brakes, and a compliant ride on its adaptive dampers-but it could definitely use a set of summer tires to match the sticky cornering grip of its hatchback GTI brother.
Since the Jetta GLI shares its turbocharged four-cylinder with two different transmissions, it gets separate fuel-economy ratings. The standard six-speed manual transmission is estimated to earn 26 miles per gallon in the city and 37 miles per gallon on the highway. Models equipped with the optional seven-speed automatic can expect to see 26 miles per gallon in city and 36 miles per gallon on highway, according to its government ratings.
While the GLI has the same basic layout and generous passenger space as the standard Jetta, a few bits of red trim spice things up somewhat. We only wish some of the materials that Volkswagen uses in the cabin were of higher quality. Particularly unpleasant is the molded-in stitching on the dashboard as well as the hard and shiny plastic on the doors. At least the GLI has upscale standard features such as a 10.3-inch digital gauge cluster, customizable ambient interior lighting, heated and ventilated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof. The sportiest Jetta is also surprisingly practical. The compact sedan has a massive trunk that managed to hold seven carry-on suitcases.
With an 8.0 inch touchscreen, the Jetta GLI has a user-friendly infotainment system that includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a subscription-based Wi-Fi hotspot. Plus, it has a 400 watt, eight-speaker BeatsAudio sound system and wireless device charging.
Volkswagen Jetta GLI comes in two trim options: GLI 40th Anniversary which has a starting price tag of $29,235 and GLI Autobahn whose price is estimated around $33,000.
The Autobahn is a fully loaded trim level that comes standard with all of the upgrades that were once mere options. This includes adaptive dampers, a digital gauge cluster, leather upholstery, a powerful audio system, a panoramic sunroof, heated-and- ventilated power front seats, and wireless charging. Shoppers can still choose between a manual or automatic transmission, but the latter costs extra.
