The compact sport sedan is becoming a somewhat rare breed on the modern car market. Fortunately, the 2025 Volkswagen Jetta GLI is here to keep this class alive and well, offering engaging driving dynamics, comfort, and athletic performance in a practical yet fun contemporary sedan.
1. Overachieving Powertrain
The Volkswagen Jetta GLI is built around a 2.0L TSI 4-cylinder engine, which pairs with either a 6-speed manual transmission for classic driving engagement or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission for modern convenience. Whichever configuration you choose, you’ll have 228 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque at your disposal.
Volkswagen’s proprietary Multimode DCC comes as standard, allowing you to have a little more fun on the road. You can personalize your ride by selecting different drive modes depending on your mood or driving conditions. When you select a mode, the Jetta GLI’s adaptive chassis control will monitor the vehicle, managing the suspension accordingly to deliver an optimized, exhilarating ride.
2. Contemporary Design
The exterior design perfectly complements the power under the hood. The body of the Jetta GLI is sleek and perfectly sculpted, with long lines giving a head-turning and aerodynamic profile. This is augmented by the standard 18-inch split 10-spoke alloy wheels, which give a stylishly athletic stance to the vehicle.
The 2025 Jetta GLI enjoys a refreshed design, giving the vehicle a more modern aesthetic. The front fascia boasts a striking new grille with an integrated light bar. This is flanked by eye-catching LED headlights, with the rear of the vehicle similarly incorporating bold LED taillights connected by a light bar, giving the Jetta GLI unmistakable character from every angle.
3. Modern Interior
The same thoughtfully stylish design ethos carries over into the spacious, inviting cabin. Leather seating is standard, offering an air of elegance to the interior design that is perfectly complemented by the standard leather-wrapped, heated multi-function steering wheel. Climatronic Touch dual-zone automatic climate control is also standard, offering refined and individualized comfort for you and your passengers.
An 8-inch color display touchscreen provides access to an advanced infotainment system with App-Connect for seamless smartphone integration. Standard wireless charging lets you keep your devices full of juice on road trips, and the innovative 10.25-inch Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Pro configurable digital instrument display delivers a customizable readout of key vehicle information.
4. Intelligent Safety Features
Volkswagen’s technical innovation also powers a comprehensive suite of standard safety and driver assistance features, including:
- Adaptive cruise control
- Blind spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert
- Lane assist
- Light assist
