2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI

2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI





WHAT: 2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Autobahn Mk.7 BD (VW Group A7 platform) compact family sedan. The new VW Jetta GLI is finally hatched from the Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB) platform, four years after it's Hot Hatch relative, the Volkswagen Golf GTI. 7 as possessing the larger Passat's maturity and compacy Golf hatchback's trapezoids found in wrap-around light housings, fuel filler doors. Jetta GLI sedans mimick their Golf GTI hatchback brethren with telltale insignia splashed on grille, trunk lid and fenders. Jetta's acute raked backlight, now leading to a more prominent GLI near duck-tail integrated trunk-lid spoiler formed from side belt-line creasing border on fastback. It's just one interconnected ring away from being an Audi S3 ringer. WHY: People's Teutonic Hot Compact Sedan is Affordable Wolf in Dapper New Sheep's Clothing. 132% that of a late 1980s Ford small-block OHV V-8! Gear pre-selection and disengagement in the 7-speed dual clutch automated manual gearbox is notably smoother than in the previous 6-speed DSG.





Cog swaps in the nether regions of the tachometer occur with hardly any drop-off. Combined with the electronic exhaust wastegate it keeps a good amount of the 17.4 PSI of boost and hence ample torque low in the EA 888 Gen. 3 rev range. Large, slightly right offset pedals improve heel to toe action. HOW LIMBER: GLI's multi-link rear set-up is harmonized with higher spring rates and stiffer dampers, stemming float and nose dive and improving wheel placement accuracy. And yet broken pavement is absorbed in civilized fashion. Select Sport Drive Mode or set Sport Steer effort in Custom. Grab that beefy D-shaped, contrast red web stitched leather helm. The variable ratio steering firms up naturally without excessive weighting. Hankook 3-season performance tires tramsmit high grip. On the track, the XDS e-clutch front differential cuts out torque fidget making for improved understeer avoidance. Mk. 6 Jetta . Low cowl provides excellent forward visibility at corners. That intrusive front center console takes a bigger bite out of rear middle seat space than desired. HOW SAFE: rated "Good" in all categories by Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS): 鈭?6 airbags, 鈭?Generous hot formed weight saving steel used in structure; -1 Not all LED headlamps are created equal. 鈭?Forward collision warning & avoidance; 鈭?Pedestrian avoidance braking; 鈭?Automatic high beam LED headlamps. 7100 less than VW Golf GTI Autobahn, less GTI's DCC suspension, sport seats and native Navigation. WHAT'S MISSING: Greater steering road feel; VW Golf GTI's balance, cabin finish; Native navigation option; DCC adaptive damping (only on 35th Anniversary Edition). 1 Power, aggressive aero bits, All-Wheel Drive. FINAL WORDS: Well worth the four year wait to gain MQB. Now happy to have our Teutonic Hot Hatch Wolf in Sedan Sheep's Clothing.





At the heart of the 2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI, you will find an upgraded 2.0-liter TSI turbocharged four-cylinder engine that will manufacture 220 horsepower 鈥?an improvement of 10 horsepower over standard 2017 Golf GTI editions. Married to a six-speed manual or a six-speed DSG automatic transmission, the VW Golf GTI provides the perfect combination of power and efficiency. Official fuel-economy ratings for the updated VW Golf GTI have not yet been released. To further amplify the 2018 VW Golf GTI model lineup, the stock Golf GTI S adds LED taillights, LED Daytime Running Lights, a 6.5-inch touchscreen display, stop-start engine technology, 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels and a rearview camera to the spec sheet. Does the thought of hitting the accelerator in a performance-tuned hatchback check all the boxes for you? Look no further than the upgraded 2018 VW Golf GTI. Armed with this overview of the 2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI release date and design specs, you will get an in-depth look at the new and improved VW Golf GTI. Keep an eye on the Schworer Volkswagen inventory for the arrival of the 2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI this fall!





Mazda revealed that its planners and executives are listening to feedback from Mazda fans; public reaction to the idea could be decisive. It has been several years since Mazda offered high-performance Mazdaspeed versions of its 3 compact or its MX-5 Miata sports car. Although the lovable little two-seater does come in a racy Club version with sticky tires and big brakes and the company does pursue the upper levels of professional sports-car racing, it has been moving its passenger vehicles upmarket. Today's Mazda cars and SUVs still have a sporty, engaging feel, but they're also much more luxurious and refined than ever before, with Audi-esque interiors and more sophisticated styling. We miss the raw performance of those Mazdaspeed models. According to a story on Autocar's website, that may be changing. Mazda program manager Kota Beppu told Autocar that the company is close to greenlighting a serious high-performance version of the 3 to compete directly with Volkswagen's GTI. Sources inside Mazda have confirmed the same to us.





That's a ton of wheel-spinning torque for a front-drive car to handle, but not to worry. The other special ingredient is AWD, which is incorporated into the 3's architecture and is already available in U.S. So not only will the next鈥攄are we speak its name鈥擬azdaspeed 3 have plenty of grunt, it'll be able to put all of it to the ground with impunity. We would expect a zero-to-60-mph time of about five seconds, which is more in line with the 292-hp VW Golf R and the 306-hp Honda Civic Type R than the 228-hp GTI. We have no worries about a new Mazdaspeed 3's ride and handling, either. Beppu said he wants the car to be refined and sophisticated, two traits that Mazda has shown it knows how to infuse into its products鈥攂rilliantly so. However, the super-3 will definitely not be a hard-riding track-day tool that's marginally livable in day-to-day use, as the previous Mazdaspeed 3 was. Couple that all-around capability to the 3 hatch's gorgeous styling and near-luxury interior ambiance, and the next Mazdaspeed 3 should be a throughly well-rounded and compelling offering鈥攊f it's ever produced. That's where you come in. Mazda sources have told us that they are listening closely for enthusiasts to ask for the car. If the crowd roars loud enough, there's a very strong possibility that a new Mazdaspeed 3 will appear relatively soon. Here's your chance. Let Mazda hear from you. You can start by responding to the poll right here.

2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI

2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI





For the past couple decades, when Volkswagen releases a new Jetta sedan, it means a performance-themed GLI version won't be too far behind. But with the sixth-generation Jetta getting bigger and softer for the U.S., inquiring minds want to know if the 2012 Volkswagen Jetta GLI, which is debuting at the 2011 Chicago auto show, will get softer as well. While there are no official EPA ratings yet, Volkswagen expects the GLI's highway mileage to be 31 mpg for the manual and 32 mpg on the automatic. For reference, a 2011 GTI hatch weighs some 29 pounds less than the 2011 Jetta SEL with the 2.5-liter inline-five and is rated at 24/33 mpg city/highway; chances are VW's estimates for the GLI will be spot on. Separating the GLI from lesser Jettas is not left to the turbocharged engine alone. Carried over from the European-spec Jetta, the GLI receives four-way independent rear suspension instead of the twist beam suspension setup found elsewhere in the Jetta's U.S.





We suspect the Euro-tuned suspension will up the fun-to-drive quotient in VW's more potent compact sedan. VW's XDS cross differential system also makes an appearance on the GLI. The technology helps prevent inside wheel spin during cornering, just as it does on the GTI. Distinguishing the GLI from the rest of the lineup are 17- or 18-inch wheels, smoked taillight lenses, a revised front bumper with larger air intake, and a honeycomb grille outlined in bright trim. Four-wheel disc brakes with floating red calipers are also part of the package. Inside, the GLI has everything you'd expect from a hotter version of the Jetta: sport bucket seats and a flat-bottom steering wheel, both with red stitching. A 6.5-inch touchscreen display is standard, as is Bluetooth, iPod connectivity, and auto up/down power on all four side windows. 26,315 GLI Autobahn nets heated leather seats, 18-inch wheels, and a Fender sound system. Of course, we'll have to drive it to see if it's become mushy, but with the 2.0-liter turbo and independent rear suspension, we're confident it will represent the spirit of the GLI name.

2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI

2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI





The new GLI is essentially a slightly sportier version of the standard Jetta. It features the same oversized grille and sporty front bumper, but combines design cues seen on the Golf GTI. For instance, the horizontal and vertical slats in the standard grille were replaced with a honeycomb layout, while the horizontal trim that splits the element in two is finished in red, just like on the Golf GTI. But instead of a red "GTI" badge, the sedan sports red "GLI" lettering. Volkswagen also upgraded the standard headlamps to LED projector units and LED daytime running lights. Below, the center vent features a honeycomb mesh, while the fake side outlets have black surrounds and a black plastic inserts with fins instead of foglamps. Overall, the Jetta GLI looks a lot like a modernized Golf GTI up front. The GLI鈥檚 profile looks rather generic though. Outside the "GLI" badge on the front fender and the 18-inch, aluminum-alloy wheels that are exclusive to this car, the GLI remains identical to the regular Jetta.





The sporty suspension lowers the four-door 0.6 inches closer to the ground, but that鈥檚 barely noticeable. Around back, Volkswagen added LED taillights as standard and glued a small spoiler on top of the integrated trunk lid spoiler of the regular model. The bumper remains identical to the standard Jetta, but there鈥檚 a diffuser-like element worth mentioning thanks to its small fins and round exhaust pipes that replace the usual trapezoidal outlets. These are also finished in chrome for a more exclusive look. A red "GLI" badge on the trunk lid rounds off the rear fascia. Opt for the slightly more exclusive 35th Anniversary model, and you also get black wheels with red stripes, black roof, black mirror caps, a black rear spoiler, and 35th-anniversary badges. The fact that the Jetta is a fresh design already makes the interior a nice place to spend time in. It looks modern, crips, and stands out in its segment as a premium-type cabin with plenty of cool features.





The "GLI" badge makes things even better by adding features taken from the Golf GTI, like the red stitching on the steering wheel, gear shifter, armrest, and floor mats and sportier front seats. The latter come in black in every trim, but while the base cloth seats have grey piping, the perforated leather upholstery in the Autobahn model sport red accents. There鈥檚 also a Diamond flag decor trim, while the 35th Anniversary model adds unique seat tags, floor mats, and door sills. The Jetta GLI also comes with an extended list of standard features, like a leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, automatic headlamps, keyless access and push-button start, rain-sensing wipers, and auto-dimming rear-view mirror. The Driver Personalization setting, which includes setups for driver seat memory, driver assistance system preferences, temperature, ambient lighting color, and radio presents is also standard. You also get App-Connect with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and MirrorLink smartphone integration, as well as the 10-color ambient lighting.





You can further customize the Jetta GLI with features from the options list, which includes the HMI display from the Golf GTI and the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit display. The latter comes with a reconfigurable display with unique GLI graphics and the possibility to position navigation data in front of the driver. Other features you can select include a sunroof, 400-watt BeatsAudio system, Volkswagen Car-Net vehicle services, SiriusXm radio, Voice Control, a second USB port, power driver seat with memory and lumbar support, ventilated seats, and remote start. The Jetta GLI is a full-fledged Golf GTI under the skin. Motivation comes from the same turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. That鈥檚 identical to the current Golf GTI and an 18-horsepower and 41-pound-foot boost over the previous Jetta GLI. That鈥檚 also an extra 81 horsepower and 74 pound-feet over the regular Jetta. All that oomph travels to the front wheels through either a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed automatic. The DSG is obviously optional, yet another setup that鈥檚 similar to the Golf GTI.





The automatic also features a start/stop system that improves fuel economy by stopping the engine during idle when the brake pedal is pressed. Volkswagen has yet to release performance figures, but the new Jetta GLI should be notably quicker than the old sedan, which needed 6.7 seconds to hit 60 mph from a standing start. Expect the new four-door to get there in less than six seconds. Top speed is likely limited to 155 mph, just like the Golf GTI. But how does it compare to its rivals? Well, the GLI doesn鈥檛 have many rivals, as most vehicles in this niche have less 200 horsepower. The Toyota Corolla, for instance, generates only 140 horses in its most powerful version, while the Honda Civic comes with a 174-horsepower rating. The Civic Si version comes closer tho, thanks to a 1.5-liter four-cylinder mill rated at 205 horsepower and 192 pound-feet. That鈥檚 a 23-horsepower and 66-pound-foot deficit though, so you鈥檙e better off with the Jetta GLI in the performance department. The Subaru WRX is a worthy performance-oriented sedan that the GLI might go against.

2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI




The 2019 VW Jetta GLI is the tuned-up, high-performance version of the Jetta sedan, just as the GTI is to the Golf hatchback. With extra power, a stiffer suspension, and a more aggressive look, the GLI aims to take the somewhat boring Jetta up a notch in the fun-to-drive department. You'll likely pay quite a bit extra for the GLI's goodies when it goes on sale this spring, but it does come standard with desirable features such as blind-spot monitoring and automatic climate control. The GLI shares its engine with the GTI: a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with a healthy 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is optional. Acceleration is significantly improved compared with the standard Jetta's 147-hp engine. With the seven-speed automatic, the GLI went from zero to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds in our testing, which is 2.1 seconds than the regular Jetta with the eight-speed automatic. The GLI's responses are sharper, too, thanks to a lowered suspension and upgraded brakes. While the GLI has the same basic roomy cabin as the standard Jetta, a few bits of red trim spice things up somewhat. Even the base model has features such as blind-spot monitoring, automatic climate control, and keyless entry with push-button start. Higher trims can be had with a panoramic sunroof, a digital gauge cluster, heated and cooled front seats, and an upgraded audio system.

The new Jetta is a little longer and wider than before. Combined with an extra inch of wheelbase, this translates to comfortable occupant space front and rear, although the figures reveal that there鈥檚 actually marginally less legroom than before. We found the Sport Comfort leather seats on the Execline to be adequately supportive. The cabin gets ambient lighting at night but the well-finished dashboard could do with a splash of colour by day. The ambience is however enhanced by a panoramic sunroof and a 9-speaker BeatsAudio system, both standard on the Execline. The first car this reviewer drove was a 1981 Jetta, complete with 1.3-liter gas engine and 4-speed manual gearbox. The technology and complexity of modern vehicles makes them entirely different to drive, but this latest, seventh-generation Jetta embodies a little of the original鈥檚 responsiveness and feel of being connected to the road. If mildly sporty, European-style sedans are your thing then it鈥檚 well worth a closer look. US buyers can add a six-year/72,000-mile transferable warranty to the Jetta鈥檚 list of virtues; Canadian customers make do with four years/80,000km. With sales of more than 3.2 million in the US alone since 1980, the Jetta has long been central to Volkswagen鈥檚 success in the North American market.





1.5 million, Ricardo Rodriguez, head of the newly created Institute to Return Stolen Goods to the People, said at a news conference. The proceeds will go to two municipalities in the southern state of Oaxaca, which President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said are among the poorest in the country. The vehicles up for auction include Porsches, Corvettes, Mercedes-Benzes, a Mustang convertible and a 2007 Lamborghini Murcielago. A 2017 report by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development noted that recent studies estimated Mexico lost between 5% and 9% of its gross domestic product (GDP) to corruption annually. Since taking office in December, Lopez Obrador, a leftist, has rolled out a string of welfare programs for the poor and the elderly, cut salaries for top civil servants and said he is saving public money by eliminating corruption. He announced plans for a "Robin Hood" institute in April. 7 million, including one with an indoor pool in an upscale Mexico City neighborhood. The money will go towards a youth drug rehabilitation program. Proceeds from another auction of jewelry seized from organized crime groups will go to communities in the mountains of Guerrero state, where many families struggle to eke out a living by growing opium poppies. Not all the assets come from drug lords. Rodriguez said one of the homes up for auction belonged to a former politician.





Authorities in California want to question the father of a 8-month-old girl who found dead after being dumped outside a funeral home on Monday. Law enforcement agents are seeking Alexander Echeverria, 22, after the body of Alexia Rose Echeverria was discovered behind a dumpster in the Los Angeles suburb of Bellflower. The child's lifeless body was wrapped in a blanket and placed on a car seat. The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department believes the baby died in Sacramento before her father abandoned her body in Southern California. My baby didn't have to go through all of that,' the girl's mother, Karla Alvarado, told Univision. According to police reports, Alexander confessed to his family that he dropped the baby and she was unresponsive when he picked her up. Alexander reportedly took his daughter to a local hospital but refused to enter the facility's emergency wing. He then set out on a 400-mile drive from Sacramento to Los Angeles, where Alexia Rose was later abandoned.

2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI




These days, the Volkswagen Jetta lives as a compact sedan with handsome looks, clever technology, and desirable amenities. However, the letters 鈥淕LI鈥?transform it into a credible performance car, making it the sedan counterpart to Volkswagen鈥檚 famed Golf GTI hatchback. The regular Jetta received a thorough redesign for 2019, so a new Jetta GLI joins it midway into the model year. It competes with the Honda Civic Si and the Hyundai Elantra Sport. The new Jetta GLI may be subtle for a sport sedan, but it鈥檚 appreciably different from regular Jettas. Its front end features GLI badging and a unique blacked-out honeycomb grille with a red stripe running across it. Along the sides, red brake calipers poke out from behind slick 18-inch wheels, and at the rear, circular exhaust tips replace the simulated ones found on conventional Jettas. Finally, the Jetta GLI sits 0.6 inches nearer to the ground than its counterparts.





A 35th Anniversary version is available with exclusive black wheels with a red stripe, a black roof, black mirror caps, and a black spoiler. At the heart of every Jetta GLI is the same turbocharged 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder as in the Golf GTI, matching that car鈥檚 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. You get the choice of driving the front wheels through either a standard 6-speed manual or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT) with paddle shifters. The Jetta GLI also trades the regular Jetta鈥檚 torsion-beam rear suspension for a more advanced multi-link setup. The brakes are also borrowed from the Golf GTI and Golf R, with 13.4 inch vented rotors up front, and an electronic limited-slip differential works to eliminate understeer. You can optimize the Jetta GLI for specific types of driving through the standard drive-mode selector, and if that isn鈥檛 enough, Volkswagen offers an adaptive damping system for the suspension. As of this writing, fuel-economy figures aren't available. Volkswagen doesn鈥檛 neglect safety on the new Jetta GLI. It gets a reversing camera, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a post-collision braking system. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) evaluated the Jetta earlier this year and declared it to be excellent in terms of crashworthiness and crash prevention. With compact sedans disappearing from the market in favor of crossovers, Volkswagen continues to offer an enthusiast-oriented product like the Jetta GLI.

2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI




The 2019 VW Jetta GLI is the tuned-up, high-performance version of the Jetta sedan, just as the GTI is to the Golf hatchback. With extra power, a stiffer suspension, and a more aggressive look, the GLI aims to take the somewhat boring Jetta up a notch in the fun-to-drive department. You'll likely pay quite a bit extra for the GLI's goodies when it goes on sale this spring, but it does come standard with desirable features such as blind-spot monitoring and automatic climate control. The GLI shares its engine with the GTI: a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with a healthy 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is optional. Acceleration is significantly improved compared with the standard Jetta's 147-hp engine. With the seven-speed automatic, the GLI went from zero to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds in our testing, which is 2.1 seconds than the regular Jetta with the eight-speed automatic. The GLI's responses are sharper, too, thanks to a lowered suspension and upgraded brakes. While the GLI has the same basic roomy cabin as the standard Jetta, a few bits of red trim spice things up somewhat. Even the base model has features such as blind-spot monitoring, automatic climate control, and keyless entry with push-button start. Higher trims can be had with a panoramic sunroof, a digital gauge cluster, heated and cooled front seats, and an upgraded audio system.

2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI




The new GLI is essentially a slightly sportier version of the standard Jetta. It features the same oversized grille and sporty front bumper, but combines design cues seen on the Golf GTI. For instance, the horizontal and vertical slats in the standard grille were replaced with a honeycomb layout, while the horizontal trim that splits the element in two is finished in red, just like on the Golf GTI. But instead of a red "GTI" badge, the sedan sports red "GLI" lettering. Volkswagen also upgraded the standard headlamps to LED projector units and LED daytime running lights. Below, the center vent features a honeycomb mesh, while the fake side outlets have black surrounds and a black plastic inserts with fins instead of foglamps. Overall, the Jetta GLI looks a lot like a modernized Golf GTI up front. The GLI鈥檚 profile looks rather generic though. Outside the "GLI" badge on the front fender and the 18-inch, aluminum-alloy wheels that are exclusive to this car, the GLI remains identical to the regular Jetta. The sporty suspension lowers the four-door 0.6 inches closer to the ground, but that鈥檚 barely noticeable.





Around back, Volkswagen added LED taillights as standard and glued a small spoiler on top of the integrated trunk lid spoiler of the regular model. The bumper remains identical to the standard Jetta, but there鈥檚 a diffuser-like element worth mentioning thanks to its small fins and round exhaust pipes that replace the usual trapezoidal outlets. These are also finished in chrome for a more exclusive look. A red "GLI" badge on the trunk lid rounds off the rear fascia. Opt for the slightly more exclusive 35th Anniversary model, and you also get black wheels with red stripes, black roof, black mirror caps, a black rear spoiler, and 35th-anniversary badges. The fact that the Jetta is a fresh design already makes the interior a nice place to spend time in. It looks modern, crips, and stands out in its segment as a premium-type cabin with plenty of cool features. The "GLI" badge makes things even better by adding features taken from the Golf GTI, like the red stitching on the steering wheel, gear shifter, armrest, and floor mats and sportier front seats.





The latter come in black in every trim, but while the base cloth seats have grey piping, the perforated leather upholstery in the Autobahn model sport red accents. There鈥檚 also a Diamond flag decor trim, while the 35th Anniversary model adds unique seat tags, floor mats, and door sills. The Jetta GLI also comes with an extended list of standard features, like a leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, automatic headlamps, keyless access and push-button start, rain-sensing wipers, and auto-dimming rear-view mirror. The Driver Personalization setting, which includes setups for driver seat memory, driver assistance system preferences, temperature, ambient lighting color, and radio presents is also standard. You also get App-Connect with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and MirrorLink smartphone integration, as well as the 10-color ambient lighting. You can further customize the Jetta GLI with features from the options list, which includes the HMI display from the Golf GTI and the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit display. The latter comes with a reconfigurable display with unique GLI graphics and the possibility to position navigation data in front of the driver.





Other features you can select include a sunroof, 400-watt BeatsAudio system, Volkswagen Car-Net vehicle services, SiriusXm radio, Voice Control, a second USB port, power driver seat with memory and lumbar support, ventilated seats, and remote start. The Jetta GLI is a full-fledged Golf GTI under the skin. Motivation comes from the same turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. That鈥檚 identical to the current Golf GTI and an 18-horsepower and 41-pound-foot boost over the previous Jetta GLI. That鈥檚 also an extra 81 horsepower and 74 pound-feet over the regular Jetta. All that oomph travels to the front wheels through either a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed automatic. The DSG is obviously optional, yet another setup that鈥檚 similar to the Golf GTI. The automatic also features a start/stop system that improves fuel economy by stopping the engine during idle when the brake pedal is pressed. Volkswagen has yet to release performance figures, but the new Jetta GLI should be notably quicker than the old sedan, which needed 6.7 seconds to hit 60 mph from a standing start. Expect the new four-door to get there in less than six seconds.





Top speed is likely limited to 155 mph, just like the Golf GTI. But how does it compare to its rivals? Well, the GLI doesn鈥檛 have many rivals, as most vehicles in this niche have less 200 horsepower. The Toyota Corolla, for instance, generates only 140 horses in its most powerful version, while the Honda Civic comes with a 174-horsepower rating. The Civic Si version comes closer tho, thanks to a 1.5-liter four-cylinder mill rated at 205 horsepower and 192 pound-feet. That鈥檚 a 23-horsepower and 66-pound-foot deficit though, so you鈥檙e better off with the Jetta GLI in the performance department. The Subaru WRX is a worthy performance-oriented sedan that the GLI might go against. But this Japanese four-door is notably more capable thanks to a 2.0-liter flat-four mill that cranks out a solid 268 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of twist. That鈥檚 30 horses more and identical torque. Getting back to the Jetta GLI, you can drive it through four individual modes.
