2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Review

The S comes standard with 18-inch wheels, a limited-slip differential, LED lighting, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and adjustable interior ambient lighting. Also standard are keyless entry with push-button start, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and automatic wipers. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, as is a 6.5-inch touchscreen and a six-speaker audio system.

Stepping up to the 35th Anniversary adds dark gray 18-inch wheels with a unique design and blacked-out exterior trim. There's various 35th Anniversary badging inside and out as well. But the biggest difference is the DCC adaptive suspension, which is unique to the 35th Anniversary trim.

The top-of-the-line Autobahn trim adds a panoramic sunroof, ventilated leather seats with a power-adjustable driver's seat, remote start (when equipped with the DSG automatic transmission), an eight-speaker BeatsAudio system, an 8-inch touchscreen, satellite radio, and a digital instrument panel.

All Jetta GLIs come standard with a rearview camera, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and an automatic post-collision braking system. All-season tires are standard, but summer performance tires are a no-cost option on every trim.
