How will you choose to style your VW Jetta GLI? Will you pick the dreamy solid Monument Gray that evokes a sense of whimsical possibilities, or will you make your presence known at client meetings with the two-toned Kings Red and Deep Black?

One thing is sure: Black goes with everything. Turn your VW Jetta GLI into a timeless masterpiece with the optional Black Package, which adds a blacked-out grille and exterior accents to elevate your style to icon status.

The Volkswagen Jetta GLI stands as your partner in adventure. Its 2.0L turbocharged engine roars to life with each press of the accelerator, humming its promise of a thrilling commute. Get ready to surge down the highway with 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft at your command.

Designed to spark your rebellious side, the VW Jetta GLI features many performance-tuned features to enhance your commute, including:

• 6-speed manual transmission: Take control and feel more engaged with every commute; this feature helps build the bridge between man, machine, and road.
• Performance Monitor: Track your driving progress. This virtual pit crew technology provides essential performance stats, like engine power output and G-forces.
• Red brake calipers: Stop on a dime. These striking brake calipers not only add the perfect contrast to your sedan, but they also offer high-performance stopping power.

When you think of your perfect commute, what does it feel like? Does it include precision handling that responds to your every move? What about a smooth ride that makes the cabin comfortable for you and your lucky passengers? The Volkswagen Jetta GLI is calibrated explicitly for ultimate control.

Features that promise unparalleled accuracy include:

• Lightweight, sturdy chassis: Built on the Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB) platform, the chassis is built from high-strength steel that’s lighter and thinner than other systems. Its low curb weight helps enhance vehicle handling without compromising rigidity and safety.
• Low-drag design: Designed with a 0.6-inch lower stance than its VW Jetta counterpart, the VW Jetta GLI incorporates stiffer springs and sport-tuned shocks, helping it achieve a 0.31 drag coefficient (Cd).
• Meticulous attention to detail: Transfer up to 100 percent of torque to either side of the VW Jetta GLI to prevent understeering. The XDS® Cross Differential System actively monitors wheel data, while the advanced VAQ limited-slip front differential lock adjusts torque to ensure the best commute.

These features, coupled with the DDC® adaptive dampening system, deliver the most comfortable and responsive ride by constantly reacting to the road’s surface and your driving habits. The result is a sedan that feels like an extension of you.

With the Volkswagen Jetta GLI as your on-road partner, long stretches of road become a canvas for adventure. The cabin features passenger-focused amenities, making it a welcoming environment for all on board. Slip inside and experience elevated comfort courtesy of the side-bolstered performance seats. They support your body’s curves, ensuring you arrive at your destination with minimal driving fatigue.

Heated seats help soothe sore back and shoulder muscles, while ventilation technology aids in rapid cooling after a day spent in the sun. Since everyone has their own idea of comfort, the standard Climatronic® dual-zone automatic climate control system lets front-seat passengers independently set and adjust the temperature to meet their needs.

Nighttime drives just got more fun. The 10-color interior ambient lighting system highlights the meticulous red contrast stitching in the leather seats and other design features. Choose a dynamic red to accompany your high-stakes rides down the highway or a softer blue shade to bring your heart rate down at the end of the day.

You know the power of a curated playlist. Your “9/5 Flow” playlist, with its acoustic and lo-fi vibes, helps keep you focused during the hustle, while the “Redline Reverie” playlist and its high-energy anthems serve as the perfect backing track to your weekend road trips. No matter the mood, all your playlists are easily accessed on the 8-inch floating touchscreen display.

Wireless App-Connect brings Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ capabilities to your commute, making it easy to open your favorite music-streaming app and choose the playlist that best matches your mood. If you want to change things up, VW Wi-Fi Hotspot lets you browse new artists’ libraries without using your phone’s data. You can also explore new music recommendations with SiriusXM® with 360L.

No matter how you choose to be entertained, a wireless smartphone charging pad keeps your phone fully charged, ensuring no unexpected interruptions to the music, even on the longest trips.

Experience driving confidence like never before. The Volkswagen Jetta GLI keeps you informed and in control with its various driver-centric technology. Strategically positioned behind the steering wheel so it’s always within sight sits the VW Digital Cockpit Pro system, a 10.25-inch customizable display. Crisp, colorful icons display essential driving data, such as speed, driver-assist features, navigation, and more.
