Power packed!

The GLI is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Standard is a six-speed manual transmission, with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic presented as an option. Regardless of transmission, this new GLI has an acceleration that is significantly faster compared with the Jetta’s standard 158-hp engine. Impressively, this vehicle hits 60 mph in just 6.1 seconds, which is 0.7 seconds ahead of a similarly-equipped Honda Civic Si.

In terms of handling, the new Jetta possesses smooth steering — conquering any curve — strong brakes and a compliant ride through and through. DCC adaptive chassis control offers three varied settings of suspension firmness, while the VAQ limited-slip front differential lock helps to eliminate understeer by proactively making adjustments to help maintain optimum torque balance.

Safety first!

Safety tops the list when it comes to this all-new Jetta with a variety of features in place! Stay focused with a rear-view camera system that helps you see obstacles when backing up. Front and rear crumple zones help absorb crash energy, while a rigid safety cage assists in distributing forces away from the driver and passengers. There is also an Intelligent Crash Response System that deploys airbags if necessary as well as an Automatic Post-Collision Braking System. A Tire Pressure Monitoring System is also at hand to maintain proper air pressure at all time as a safety measure and Six stability-enhancing systems round out that extra peace of mind by helping maintain appropriate stopping power during a hard-braking situation.

Fuel economy found here!

Thanks to a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with two different transmissions, the GLI for 2023 gets separate fuel-economy ratings. The standard six-speed manual transmission is estimated to earn 26 mph in the city and 37 mpg on the highway.
