Ever since Volkswagen unveiled the brand-new Jetta last year, we've been dying to see the high-performance GLI version. Well, the wait is over. This is the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI. The GLI is what the GTI hatchback is to the regular Golf. It sits on top of the Jetta range, providing the most performance you can ask for from VW's entry-level four-door. Like the normal Jetta, this new GLI is based on Volkswagen's ever-popular MQB architecture. It gets the GTI's 228-horsepower, 258 lb.-ft. DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission. The GTI's electronically controlled torque-sensing limited-slip differential is standard, as are red-painted brakes sourced from the Golf R. The steering is a variable-ratio electrically assisted system. The 2019 Jetta GLI's suspension is fully independent, with a strut-type setup up front and a multi-link setup in the rear. An adaptive damping system is optional. The black-accented wheels are unique to the GLI, and measure 18 inches in diameter. The car sits 0.6 inches lower than the standard Jetta, complemented by a blacked-out honeycomb grille, LED lighting all-around, a finned diffusor, dual-chrome exhaust tips, and that signature red accent line that runs the width of the nose. Drivers have four drive modes to choose from: Normal, Sport, Eco, and Custom. Each adjusts the shift points, throttle response, differential, steering, and, if you have it optioned, suspension. There's a bunch of other standard tech as well, including Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, power seats with memory functions and ventilation, satellite radio, remote start, forward collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and a Beats Audio sound system. When the new GLI launches in Spring 2019, customers can choose a 35th Anniversary trim, which comes with unique black wheels, a red stripe, a black roof, black mirror caps, a black tail spoiler, unique badging, and standard adaptive dampers. 1600 less than the GTI hatch. 800 on top of those numbers.
It will coach you to be a better driver. A professional shot showing the map relegated to the infotainment screen. 26,945) SEL versions, so they came with all the bells and whistles. As an illustration of how interconnected all these various subsystems are, consider the following: switching among Eco, Normal, and Sport modes remaps the throttle, changes the transmission shift points, and can even tighten the steering. But it will also tweak how the adaptive cruise control behaves, changes the climate-control settings, and even changes the interior ambient lighting. The interior tech might well be the Jetta's strongest card. SEL Jettas come with the 10.25-inch "Digital Cockpit" display, a VW version of Audi's "Virtual Cockpit" that I've raved about in the past. You can configure it to a great degree, from austere minimalism to information overload, and together with the MIB II infotainment system, the overall experience is slick. The rest of the interior is also pretty slick. Mostly. The seats and steering wheel are wrapped in leather, and almost all the bits you'll touch regularly are made from high-grade plastics and have pleasant finger action.
1,380 cheaper for the SEL. Perhaps this comes into starkest relief when looking at the Jetta's most Jetta-ish attribute: the trunk itself. Its felt lining is thin and not well secured, but the bigger problem is the lid. Forget the gas struts that hold up a Golf (or even a Polo) hatch: here are two very simple hinges, painted body color. Mind you open the trunk lid all the way, though. Otherwise prepare for a smack on the back of the head as the trunk lid attempts to return to its natural resting state. This caught me out more than once in Colorado and at least twice back in DC until I finally noticed the warning and instruction glyph. Maybe it's the repeated head trauma, but I never entirely gelled with either of the two Jettas I spent time with. Sure, the pricing is reasonable, as is the fuel economy, and they had some good tech. Then again, the Honda Accord has all that, too, and is more engaging to drive. I guess your preference will come down to how much you need that dashboard.
