Used 2020 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Sedan Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2020 Volkswagen Jetta GLI is available in two trims: S and Autobahn. Both trim levels come with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine making 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. It's connected to either a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Which Jetta GLI trim does Edmunds recommend?
Our recommendation for the Jetta GLI is the top-of-the-line Autobahn. On top of the base S trim's list of standard equipment, it brings appealing upgrades such as an adaptive suspension, ventilated front seats, an eight-speaker stereo (up from six speakers in the base model) and an 8-inch touchscreen (up from 6.5 inches in the base model). The suspension's wider range of comfort and handling alone makes the Autobahn trim level appealing, and all those other extras make it a no-brainer.
