The 2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI is a five-passenger, front-wheel-drive compact performance sedan. It shares the same platform as other Jetta sedan models but adds performance features including a multi-link rear suspension, a limited-slip rear differential, and Golf R brakes. The Jetta GLI has a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. 800. This model makes an EPA-estimated 25 miles per gallon city, 32 mpg highway, and 28 combined, regardless of the transmission pairing. 895 destination charge). The list of standard equipment includes automatic LED projector headlights with LED daytime running lights, LED taillights, heated side mirrors, 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, and a rear spoiler. Inside, the GLI S has keyless entry with push-button start, full power accessories, cloth seats, heated front seats, air conditioning, and an electronic parking brake. This model also has a six-speaker audio system, a 6.5-inch touchscreen display, Bluetooth connectivity, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, and one USB port. On models equipped with the dual-clutch transmission, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters are included. As for driver-assist technologies, Volkswagen includes a rearview camera, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and an automatic post-collision braking system. 27,890. Volkswagen dresses this trim with dark grey aluminum-alloy wheels with a red stripe. A black roof, black mirror caps, black tail spoiler, and anniversary badging inside and out are also found here. A DCC adaptive damping system is exclusive to this model. 30,090. This trim includes a panoramic power tilt-and-slide sunroof, leather-trimmed seats, an eight-way power driver鈥檚 seat, and remote start on models equipped with the automatic transmission. Volkswagen also includes an eight-speaker Beats audio system, a CD player, two USB ports, and an 8-inch color touchscreen. A 10.25-inch digital cockpit and satellite radio round out the upgrades. The 2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI supplies ride comfort rivaling luxury cars. 1,000 upgrade over the base price.
They also have a sophisticated multilink independent rear arrangement that features three transverse and one longitudinal link per wheel. This enables the longitudinal and transverse dynamics to be precisely configured almost independently of each other. The result is more agile, responsive and precise handling. All 2018 Jetta models have an anti-roll bar as part of the rear suspension. The GLI also features, as standard, the impressive XDS Cross Differential System. This technology acts somewhat like an electronic substitute for a traditional mechanical limited-slip differential, working by actively monitoring data from each wheel sensor. If the suspension becomes unloaded, the system automatically applies braking to the driven inside wheel as needed to reduce understeer (the tendency for the front wheels to run wide). This not only helps keep the Jetta on the road, but can also help improve handling and cornering performance. To help protect occupants, the Jetta provides a combination of both passive and active safety systems.
The Jetta has been engineered to meet or exceed all current crash regulations and features six airbags as standard along with a number of electronic and mechanical safety systems, including standard Electronic Stability Control (ESC). Volkswagen鈥檚 Automatic Post-Collision Braking System is standard on the 2018 Jetta. This builds on the premise that a collision is rarely a single, instantaneous action, but rather a series of events that follow the initial impact鈥攖he most significant of which can cause additional collisions. The Automatic Post-Collision Braking System addresses this by applying the brakes when a primary collision is detected by the airbag sensors, thus helping to reduce residual kinetic energy and, in turn, the chance of additional damage. The Jetta also includes Volkswagen鈥檚 Intelligent Crash Response System that shuts off the fuel pump, unlocks the doors, and switches on the hazard lights if the car is involved in certain types of collisions where airbags deploy. Front Assist, standard on SEL models, helps warn drivers of potential frontal collisions (Forward Collision Warning) with vehicles, and in some cases can provide automatic braking assistance (Autonomous Emergency Braking).
Within physical system limits, Forward Collision Warning helps warn the driver of critical front-end collision situations, both acoustically and visually by a warning symbol in the instrument cluster above 18 mph. If the driver fails to brake, or if the car is below 18 mph, Autonomous Emergency Braking is activated to help slow the vehicle. If the brake pedal is applied but the driver brakes too lightly, the brake pressure is increased by the system (Braking Support). Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), standard on Jetta SEL models, uses a forward facing radar to maintain a set speed while helping maintain a set distance to the vehicle in front. When the roadway ahead of the vehicle is clear, the system maintains the set speed. Jetta models fitted with ACC can match a vehicle in front. If the car stands longer than three seconds, the driver can resume ACC control after pressing the accelerator pedal or the 鈥渞esume鈥?button on the steering wheel. Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Traffic Alert is standard on Jetta SE and higher trims.
Blind Spot Monitor uses two radar sensors at the rear of the vehicle to scan the approaching traffic and can help warn drivers of potential danger in adjacent lanes. If the driver uses the turn signal to indicate a lane change while a vehicle is detected in a blind spot, the system utilizes a flashing LED symbol in the outer area of the side mirrors. Even if the driver does not use a turn signal, the LED symbol in the mirror will illuminate if a vehicle is detected in the blind spot. The system is designed to help alert drivers in specific situations; stationary objects or oncoming vehicles do not trigger warnings, nor will vehicles more than one lane across away from the vehicle. The Rear Traffic Alert system helps detect vehicles approaching from the side that may be difficult for the driver to see while reversing. It offers a sizable range of about 65 feet, and will present a visual and an acoustic warning, before applying the brakes if a potential impending collision is detected. If the driver does not react, the system can apply the brakes to help mitigate and, in the best case, prevent a collision.
