Design Details of the 2025 Volkswagen Jetta GLI

Exterior Design
What makes a car sporty? If you ask us, it's a combination of agility, straight-line performance, and head-turning style that includes exciting exhaust noises. Driver engagement, of course, must be at the forefront, turning every contact point with the vehicle into an instant connection to the road. The new Volkswagen Jetta GLI for sale offers all of this – and announces it boldly through stimulating exterior design cues.
The sleek overall shape and proud aesthetic of the "normal" Jetta is the canvas Volkswagen designers used to create the work of art that is the Jetta GLI. They built upon the original model's style with a GLI-exclusive grille featuring an integrated light bar, GLI badges, red fascia accents, and premium LED projector headlights. Every new Volkswagen Jetta GLI for sale also has unique wheels you can't get on the "normal" Jetta. The new Jetta GLI Autobahn comes equipped with slim-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels and can be upgraded with blacked-out versions via the Autobahn Black package (more on this in the "Accessories" section).
Interior Design
Like the exterior of the 2025 Volkswagen Jetta GLI, the interior begins with the "normal" Jetta as a basis, then kicks things up a notch with exclusive features and details. Volkswagen Jetta GLI reviews almost always start with the "wow" factor of the model's cabin. Its sharp style lines and harmonious patterns make you feel in control of the apex of modern driving benefits.
The VW Jetta GLI sedan's cabin is designed to visually impress while providing intuitive tactile and digital inputs, all wrapped in modern driving features. The standard Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Pro display, a 10.25-inch fully digital gauge cluster screen, intelligently gives you all the data you need.
Lined with sporty red accents, vibe-friendly ambient lighting, leather-trimmed accents with red contrast stitching, luxurious soft-touch trim pieces, and a driver-centric layout containing it all, the new Volkswagen Jetta GLI for sale is as eye-catching on the inside as it is on the outside.


Cabin Comfort
When your drive gets an adrenaline injection, you need more than just driver-focused controls and a heart-pumping interior atmosphere – you also need touches of comfort to keep you ready for action. With the brand's Sports Comfort Seats upholstered in leather with a Grigio and Red Crust color scheme coming standard on the Autobahn trim, you'll feel like you're gliding on a cloud even during the most intense corner-carving sessions. Those front seats even have standard heating and ventilation to maintain your ideal temperature.
The standard dual-zone automatic climate control system does much the same. The Volkswagen Jetta GLI air filter joins forces with this system to provide extra advanced air purification. A standard driver's seat memory function and power lumbar support feature further improve your comfort. You'll find a standard leather-wrapped steering wheel to make every touch more sumptuous. The rear seats are equally well-tailored and offer 60/40 split-folding capabilities to make cargo runs easier.
With everything from the auto-dimming rearview mirror that reduces eye strain to confidence-boosting safety features like Front Assist and Lane Assist, the new Volkswagen Jetta GLI for sale goes above and beyond to keep you comfortable.
VW Jetta GLI Accessories
Whether you want wheels that more accurately reflect your style, protection for your vehicle's exterior and interior, gear to haul extra cargo or weekend toys like a wakeboard, or a blacked-out style package for the Jetta GLI Autobahn, a wide range of accessories can be installed in this sedan to better suit your lifestyle.
If you want a stealthier look, take a closer look at the Autobahn Black Package. This option unlocks 18-inch black alloy wheels, black side mirror caps, and a black-painted roof to enhance your Jetta GLI sedan's style. It'll be even more fun to show off your ride in Daytona Beach, FL.
If your hobbies take you outdoors, consider protective accessories like MuddyBuddy trunk liners, floor liners, and a bumper shield that can help shield your car from messes and wear. The Jetta GLI can also be fitted with a center console organizer, rear sunshades, a roof-mounted cargo box, and more.

Technology Features of the New Volkswagen Jetta GLI for Sale
Media and Touchscreen Displays
The new Volkswagen Jetta GLI for sale is loaded with high-end features. A Jetta GLI has two hi-res displays at your command. The first is the VW Digital Cockpit Pro, which we'll explore below. The second is an 8-inch infotainment media touchscreen display with features like voice control.
This touchscreen controls your soundtrack, connects with your phone (learn more in the "VW App-Connect" section below), views and adjusts your vehicle's status and settings, and more. Two USB-C data ports (plus a rear-seat USB-C charging port) come alongside this display, and so does a SiriusXM® three-month trial subscription. As for the soundtrack, it'll blast out through a powerful BeatsAudio® sound system that turns your VW Jetta GLI into a concert hall while driving around in Daytona Beach, FL.
Advanced Tech Features
Like other versions of the VW Jetta, the new Volkswagen Jetta GLI for sale roars into the future with a full set of high-end tech features. You'll find standard wireless charging for compatible devices so you can effortlessly keep your smartphone topped up at all times.

Many other advanced benefits come standard, including Vehicle Health Report monitoring, keyless access with push-button start, and more.
VW Digital Cockpit Pro
The VW Digital Cockpit Pro is an awesome way for new VW vehicles to communicate with you. This advanced display can be found where a typical car's gauge cluster would be placed. However, instead of using a mix of analog gauges and small digital displays, the VW Digital Cockpit Pro replaces the traditional gauge cluster with a fully digital 10.25-inch display.
This feature displays everything you'd expect a vehicle's gauge cluster to show you – and more. You can configure it to prioritize the information you want to see and set up as many as four pre-configured display preferences for different drivers. You can see the following items on your VW Digital Cockpit Pro display:
- Navigation guidance
- Speedometer and tachometer
- Estimated driving range
- Current fuel economy
- Incoming calls and texts
- Status of safety features
With integrated digital storage space to remember cabin temperature settings, seat positions, and more, the VW Digital Cockpit Pro display makes the new Volkswagen Jetta GLI for sale as convenient as possible.
VW App-Connect
Whether you take advantage of our VW finance offers or VW Jetta lease specials, VW App-Connect is standard in every 2025 Volkswagen Jetta GLI. This feature lets you pair your smartphone with the vehicle's infotainment system and bring select apps onto the touchscreen display. You'll be able to use Volkswagen Jetta GLI Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ to stay in touch with the outside world while you're on the road.
Connect your compatible smartphone to Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™ as you usually would to enjoy an integrated app experience. Your music, messages, navigation apps (such as Google Maps™), and more will transfer from your smartphone to the infotainment display, so you don't have to look down to use the apps you're used to. Safety is a top priority in the Volkswagen Jetta GLI, and VW App-Connect supports this by promoting hands-free usage.

Trims of the New Volkswagen Jetta GLI for Sale
As we noted earlier, the 2025 Volkswagen Jetta GLI offers one trim for the new model year: the Autobahn model. While there is no Volkswagen Jetta GLI AWD model, the agile FWD layout will satisfy your desire for performance. The Autobahn trim level is designed to make cruising down the highway more fun and includes a powerful range of standard features for you to enjoy; here's a deeper look.
Highlighting the Autobahn Model
As a tribute to the road it was built to conquer, the Jetta GLI is offered as only the Autobahn model for 2025.

Cruising without limits demands a comfortable ride, and the Jetta GLI Autobahn certainly delivers on that.
Every feature on this page that we described as "standard" is included on the Jetta GLI Autobahn. To recap, this means that you'll get the VW Digital Cockpit Pro display, heated and ventilated Sports Comfort Seats up front, a BeatsAudio® sound system, and much more.
