Discover the 2024 VW Jetta GLI: Sporty and Stylish
Impressive Performance
The GLI is propelled by a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4: a higher displacement engine than the one powering its sibling, the VW Jetta. Drivers are in command of 228 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque and can manage power delivery through the standard 6-speed manual transmission or the optional dual-clutch automatic. When put to the test, the sport sedan achieves a 0 to 60 mph time of 6.1 seconds and finishes a quarter mile in 14.6 seconds.
Curves and bends are smooth sailing for the GLI’s independent multi-link suspension and adaptive dampers, which allow each wheel to react to the road independently while reducing body roll during aggressive cornering. Additionally, an electronically controlled limited-slip differential manages power delivery to the front wheels, maintaining traction when turning in slippery conditions.
Athletic Exterior Styling
While it shares its appearance with the VW Jetta, the GLI is easily recognizable from its larger honeycomb grille featuring a bold red accent stripe and red GLI badge. A low stance and 18-inch two-toned machined alloy wheels give the sedan an athletic appearance, which is enhanced by the use of dark accents such as black bumper inserts, rub strips, and window trims. Traffic the GLI overtakes is greeted with stylish chrome-tipped exhaust outlets and a decklid spoiler.
Driver-Focused Cabin
Practicality and luxury meet inside the GLI’s cabin, with several upscale standard features oriented toward the driver, such as a 10.3-inch digital information panel and paddle shifters. The sporty look continues in the interior with red trim and sport-inspired leather seats.
The front row features heated and ventilated seats with 8-way power adjustment and memory for the driver. Other standard amenities include ambient interior lighting, a panoramic sunroof, an 8-inch infotainment screen, and a Beats 9-speaker audio system.
Advanced Safety Features
The GLI is as safe as a sedan gets, with a five-star overall safety rating by NHTSA. Safety features aboard the vehicle include automatic emergency braking, forward-collision warnings, lane departure warnings, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. Front and rear collision mitigation systems kick in to protect occupants during an impending crash.
On top of its top safety technology, the sedan comes equipped with numerous features that make driving in cities and on highways easier. Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, lane keep assist, rear parking distance sensors, and automatic high beams are some of the GLI’s standard driver assistance features.
