Inner beauty
The new Magnum décor with subtle hex pattern and new Grigio Dark Grey perforated leather seats with red stitching brings the signature GLI styling to the interior. Plus, the brushed stainless-steel pedal, black headliner, leather gearshift knob, and floating 8” touchscreen infotainment system gives the GLI an extra edge.
Brighten up
The new signature GLI headlights and taillights and the new front light bar in the grille are bound to brighten up the road at any time of day.
Back in black
The available Black Package makes a statement with 18” Belvedere black alloy wheels, black exterior mirror housings, and a black roof that gives the GLI a bold touch.
Two more shades of GLI
The redesigned 2025 Jetta GLI comes in two all-new exterior colours: Monterey Blue and Alpine Grey, both available with or without a black roof.
Two is better than one
The dual exhausts give the GLI a thrilling performance boost and a distinct finishing touch.
Rev-worthy performance
Every trip is a thrill ride with the punchy performance of the 228 hp 2.0 TSI® turbocharged engine.
Handle it
The progressive value-ratio steering makes navigating any road feel like a breeze. On twisting roads and at higher speeds, the steering adjusts to a more direct ratio, giving you an immediate and accurate response.
No cutting corners
There’s action in traction with the mechanical limited-slip differential which automatically adjusts torque distribution between the front wheels for better traction and path control.
Stop and stare
Hitting the brakes is just as impressive as hitting the gas with powerful 11.8” rear and 13.4” front performance disc brakes with red calipers.
Switching gears
You’re in full control thanks to the GLI paddle shifters, which let you quickly switch gears of the 7-speed automatic DSG® while keeping both hands on the leather-wrapped multi-function sport steering wheel.
Stay grounded
Get the perfect ride every time with Dynamic Chassis Control, which adjusts your GLI to whatever road you’re on for the ultimate driving experience.
