2016 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Unveiled

Jun 9, 2015

Volkswagen of America has just unveiled the 2016 Jetta GLI, the Golf GTI’s equivalent sedan. Similarly to the Golf GTI, the GLI also has a 210-horsepower, 2.0L TSI® turbocharged and direct-injection EA888 four-cylinder engine, providing excellent performance.

The 2016 GLI is given an eye-catching new look, headlined by a dynamic honeycomb grille as well as an all new rear bumper design paired with dual chrome-tipped exhausts.

The inside of the GLI is just as functional as the outside with a new MIB 2 Infotainment system that has USB and Car-Net Connectivity capabilities. The SE Sport Model also comes with a push-button start, a sunroof, six-way multi-directional powered driver’s seat, heated seats, a rearview camera, and many other helpful features as well.

The SEL takes it up another notch incorporating blind spot navigation, a navigation system, bi-xenon headlights with the adaptive front-lighting system (AFS), and Homelink®. The AFS system turns as you do to ensure that your path is properly lit.

Standard for all 2016 Jetta GLI models is Volkswagen’s Automatic Post-Collision Braking System which applies the brakes when the airbag sensors detect a collision, helping to reduce damage in all possible areas.
