Last year, Volkswagen introduced the all-new, 7th-generation Jetta. The new 2019 Jetta GLI rectifies that. This top-line, higher-powered version of the Jetta brings all the amenities of the standard model, plus a heaping portion of performance. The Jetta GLI has long been thought of as a Golf GTI in sedan form, as it used similar components to VW鈥檚 venerable hot hatch. With this all-new Jetta GLI that is truer than ever. Indeed, if the standard Jetta and GTI had a baby, the 2019 Jetta GLI would be the result. Whereas past GLI鈥檚 made slightly less horsepower and torque than the GTI, the all-new 2019 Jetta GLI uses the exact same engine as its hatch sibling. The 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder in the latest Jetta GLI puts out 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque - that鈥檚 an increase of 18 horsepower and a significant 51 units of twist over the prior model. And the performance upgrades don鈥檛 end there. Whereas the standard Jetta has a simple torsion-beam rear suspension, the GLI uses a proper multilink.
Then there are the transmission choices. The standard Jetta uses an 8-speed automatic that prioritizes comfort and efficiency, but the Jetta GLI has a snappier 7-speed dual-clutch DSG automatic. More significant for driving enthusiasts craving the most engagement is the availability of this model鈥檚 6-speed manual transmission. While the standard Jetta can only be had with a manual on the base model, it is standard on all three trims of the Jetta GLI, with the 7-speed DSG automatic optional. For the new Jetta GLI鈥檚 media test-drive introduction, Volkswagen invited us to Knoxville, Tennessee, not far from one of the greatest driving roads in America: Tail of the Dragon. Technically part of U.S. Highway 129 and straddling the Tennessee/North Carolina border in Deals Gap, this road boasts 318 - yes, 318 - turns in just 11 miles. It鈥檚 not a road for those prone to getting car sick. But for the kind of driving enthusiasts that the Jetta GLI attracts, it鈥檚 like nectar to a bee. In lesser cars, this kind of road could prove laborious and vexing.
