Expert Opinion on the VW Jetta GLI

Every Jetta GLI is a bolt of lightning that incinerates boredom. Be careful, though: it may make driving other cars seem even more boring than before. And even if you explore the practical stuff, the five-seat Jetta GLI trounces competitors, outclassing the similarly priced Subaru WRX in terms of MPGs and standard features. But focusing on power, the Jetta GLI dominates other new sedans with manual transmission options, including the Honda Civic SI and the considerably pricier manual-equipped Acura Integra.

Design Details of the 2025 Volkswagen Jetta GLI

2023 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Exterior Design

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.

2024 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Cabin Comfort

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.

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.

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.

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.

2025 Volkswagen Jetta GLI vs. The Competition

VW Jetta GLI vs. Honda Civic SI

The Honda Civic SI is the closest competitor to the Jetta GLI. It has similar size, spirit, and enthusiast-focused features like a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. However, the 1.5-liter turbo four-cylinder engine in the Honda Civic SI has a maximum output of 200 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque – 28 horsepower and 66 pound-feet of torque less than the Volkswagen Jetta GLI for sale.

VW Jetta GLI vs. Acura Integra

The Acura Integra is a Honda Civic SI in more luxurious clothing. Because of their shared engineering, the Acura Integra has the same standard engine and output of 200 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque as the Civic SI. The Acura Integra also limits the availability of a manual transmission, favored by car enthusiasts, to its second-highest trim level. Meanwhile, the new Volkswagen Jetta GLI for sale offers a standard manual transmission.

VW Jetta GLI vs. Hyundai Elantra

Even against the basic Jetta trims, the Hyundai Elantra can't keep up. These same-segment Hyundai sedans make 147 horsepower as standard. The only competitive chance it has lies with the sporty Elantra N Line trim level, but with only 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque, even its output can't keep up with the Jetta GLI. The Hyundai Elantra N also fails to provide ventilated front seating.

VW Jetta GLI vs. Subaru WRX

The Subaru WRX is another sporty yet practical sedan. Like the new Volkswagen Jetta GLI, the Subaru WRX has 258 pound-feet of torque and a standard six-speed manual transmission. However, the WRX falls well short with an EPA-estimated 19/26 MPG (City/Highway)7 and a lack of standard heated and ventilated front seats and a Blind Spot Monitor. The Volkswagen Jetta GLI MPG rating can reach a superior EPA-estimated 26/36 MPG (City/Highway),1 and the model offers those compelling features as standard.

VW Jetta GLI vs. Toyota GR Corolla

The Toyota GR Corolla is the latest souped-up daily driver on the market. Like the WRX, it is much less efficient than the Jetta GLI – the GR Corolla delivers an EPA-estimated 21/28 MPG (City/Highway).8 It also requires an upgrade to get anything more than the standard Toyota-branded six-speaker sound system. The Jetta GLI boasts better MPGs and a plethora of premium standard features, including a BeatsAudio® sound system.
