With the over several years, once Volkswagen emits the latest Jetta four door, this would mean the performance-themed GLI model probably will not too much at the rear of. Yet while using the sixth-generation Jetta obtaining greater as well as considerably softer in the Oughout. Ohydrates., searching thoughts keep asking generally if the 2012 Volkswagen Jetta GLI, that's debuting around the 2011 Chi town car present, could possibly get more supple on top of that.
You will discover undoubtedly absolutely nothing smooth around the Jetta GLI's inspiration, due to VW's stellar turbocharged three. 0-liter inline-four of which designer high heel sandals out there two hundred hp as well as 207 pound-feet from torque, which enables it to become mated to somewhat of a six-speed guide or perhaps VW's quick-shifting, six-speed DSG that includes tyre attached exercise shifters and also rev-matched downshifts.
Even while you will discover simply no recognized EPA scores however, Volkswagen needs the particular GLI's freeway fuel consumption rate for being thirty-one mpg in the regular and additionally 33 mpg around the automated. Intended for blueprint, any 2011 GTI hatch weighs in at several twenty nine lbs . a lot less than typically the 2011 Jetta SEL considering the a pair of. 5-liter inline-five and is particularly rating with 24/33 mpg city/highway; likelihood is VW's quotes in the GLI will probably be just right.

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. lineup. 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.
The price tag for the 2012 Jetta GLI starts at $24,265 (including destination) and bumping up to the $26,315 GLI Autobahn nets heated leather seats, 18-inch wheels, and a Fender sound system. Navigation and keyless, push-button start can be added onto the Autobahn package, bringing the MSRP to $27,215.
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.
