2020 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Review

VW Jetta GLI: Responsive Performance

So, what makes the VW Jetta GLI such a blast to drive? It’s thanks in no small part to the standard 2.0L turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine. This powertrain gives you up to 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, so you’ll really get moving when you press down on the throttle.

In order to make your engine much more responsive, this vehicle gives you a standard 6-speed manual transmission that gives you plenty of control over your shifting. If you want a smoother driving experience, you can even upgrade to an available 7-speed automatic transmission.

For even more control over your performance, this vehicle even gives you a Driving Mode Selection feature. Just choose the drive mode you want to be in, and your vehicle will change your powertrain response to fit the situation.

VW Jetta GLI: Premium Comfort Features

You’ll have a ton of comfort and convenience features at your fingertips when you drive the VW Jetta GLI. This vehicle comes standard with Rain-Sensing Windshield Wipers which automatically starts your wipers when rain is hitting your windshield. No more finding the right interval for the rain, as your car will do all that for you so driving in the rain is easy.

Another feature this car comes standard with is a Climatronic® Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control system. This system will regulate your cabin temperature to make sure you stay at the temperature you set. You can even set different temperatures for the driver and front passenger to keep everyone satisfied on long trips.

VW Jetta GLI: Standard Active Safety

You’ll find that this sedan is an exceptionally easy ride even when in traffic with its active safety features watching your back. When you’re on the highway, you’ll be well taken care of with this car’s standard Blind Spot Monitor. This system will warn you of other cars riding alongside your blind spots, so you know when it’s safe to make that lane change.

To help keep you safe in stop-and-go traffic, this car even gives you the available Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking feature. This technology will automatically bring your vehicle to a stop if it detects a potential collision.
