Entering its eighth generation in 2025, the Volkswagen Jetta GLI offers an on-road experience of a true sports sedan, molded in a practical everyday compact car. It provides a 2.0L turbocharged inline-four engine with 228 horsepower paired with a six-speed manual transmission for enthusiasts or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The Jetta GLI, available in two trims – S and Autobahn, is equipped with FWD as standard. Top-notch safety features include automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and rear traffic alert. The infotainment system comprises a standard 6.5” or optional, larger 8.0” touchscreen compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Built-in navigation sets this model apart in its segment. With a sporty redesign and more refined power, the 2025 Jetta GLI stays true to its legacy of combining performance with practicality.
