2024 Volkswagen Jetta GLI

All the Jetta GLI models available in our Yorkville, NY, new inventory have turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engines that generate 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque.

A manual six-speed transmission and FWD are standard fare. But an automatic seven-speed transmission is an option. The configuration enables the sedan to go from a standstill to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds while having an estimated EPA rating of 26 mpg for city driving and 37 mpg on the highway in Utica.

The overall exterior of the 2024 Jetta GLI features clean lines, smooth curves, and an aerodynamic profile. Anniversary Edition models have hexagonal, black honeycomb mesh grilles accented in red and bearing the VW logo.

Angular lighting sits neatly between the hood bottom and grille sides. The lower fascia features a matching mesh engine vent and more red accents. Angular, elongated lighting wraps around to the side in the rear. The dual exhausts have polished chrome tips.

Autobahn models add LED lighting all around in addition to heated exterior side mirrors that also adjust and fold electronically.

Jetta GLI's five-passenger Anniversary model interior features embossed fabric upholstery with GLI, 40, 1984, red, and metallic accents throughout. The front seats are heated and ventilated. All remain comfortable year-round thanks to the automatic climate control system that regulates two zones.

Autobahn models have standard leather upholstered interiors, including a leather-wrapped and heated steering wheel. Drivers gain a power-adjustable seat. Both front seats boast sporty styling elements. The sport theme extends to the pedals, which are capped in stainless steel.

Ambient lighting enables occupants to change their mood by changing the light colors. An electronically powered sunroof enhances the view while allowing for more natural light.
