Last week, Volkswagen of America, Inc. (VWoA) unveiled the 2016 Volkswagen Jetta GLI! The 2016 VW Jetta GLI is a performance-based sedan-equivalent of the VW Golf GTI. The latest generation offers new features and sporty look for the 2016 model year. Keep reading to learn more about what makes this sedan so popular!

The performance version Volkswagen brand’s best-selling car offers drivers an impressive and dynamic combination of value, performance, and practicality. It comes powered by a 2.0-liter TSI turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 210 horsepower. It comes equipped with all the latest in safety technology, including the Volkswagen brand’s Automatic Post-Collision Braking system. The system builds on the idea that a car collision does not generally consist of a single, instantaneous action, but that it stems from a series of events that follow that initial impact. The Automatic Post-Collision Braking system will apply the brakes when the primary collision is detected by the airbag sensors. This helps to reduce residual kinetic energy, and in turn, hopefully additional damage.

All 2016 VW GLI models will feature the new MIB 2 infotainment system that incorporate a full suite of USB and VW Car-Net connectivity functions. SE models will feature LED tail-lights, Keyless access with push-button start, Climatronic automatic dual-zone climate control, a rearview camera, front and rear Park Distance Control, the premium Fender Audio System, rain-sensing wipers, and heated seats. The SEL trim brings a number of upscale features such as Blind Spot Detection with rear cross traffic alert, a navigation system, Bi-Xenon headlights with an Adaptive Front-lighting System, and Homelink.
