2017 Volkswagen Jetta GLI 4dr Sedan

Overview

The Volkswagen Jetta is the least expensive German sedan in the North American market. Currently in its sixth generation, the Jetta looks to provide something for everyone with a wide range of trims and powertrains. The Jetta sedan offers three engine choices, a 150-hp 1.4-liter gas turbo four-cylinder (S/SE), a 170-hp 1.8-liter turbo gas four-cylinder (SEL), and a 210-hp 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder in the GLI. Buyers that go with either gas engine can choose between a five-speed manual transmission or six-speed Tiptronic automatic; while GLI buyers select from either a six-speed manual transmission, or a six-speed DSG auto with Tiptronic. All Jetta's are standard with safety features such as six air bags, four-wheel anti-lock brakes, electronic stability program, tire pressure monitoring, brake assist, seatbelt pretensioners, traction control and head restraints at all seating positions. Front collision assist and blind spot detection with rear cross traffic alert are standard on SE, SEL and GLI trims. To set the GLI apart, it includes sport bumpers and side skirts, tinted taillights, red brake calipers and 18-inch alloy wheels, front and rear parking sensors, sport seats and a Fender premium sound system. For 2017, the Jetta line-up has been simplified.
