Get ready to experience the Jetta as you never have before, from behind the wheel of its sportier counterpart, the Volkswagen Jetta GLI, for sale now on our lot in Fort Lauderdale. Volkswagen automakers bring their A-game to this classic European touring favorite, and you’re about to get a glimpse of how awe-inspiring the Jetta GLI is for yourself.
Even when parked, it’s clear this sporty sedan means business. It has a bold, confident stance, beautifully detailed with badge work and finishing. When driving in South Florida, make a statement with the Volkswagen Jetta GLI model’s elevated design and turbocharged performance while enjoying cutting-edge tech features that keep you connected and safe. Like the now-retired sports wagon (known as the Golf SportWagen SUV), the Jetta GLI is a sporty take on a sedan we all know and love.
The Jetta GLI features intense styling lines that taper down into a prominent race-inspired honeycomb grille framed by standard LED headlights that look anything but typical. The Jetta GLI badge is nestled into the grille and underscored by a dynamic-looking red strikethrough line, which enhances the aggressive and unique appearance. Wherever you’re driving near Oakland Park, FL, you’re sure to turn heads on the road.
This sporty sedan rests on 18-inch alloy wheels with all-season tires, providing just enough visibility to spy the tricked-out red racing brake calipers. Following the graceful body line to the rear, you’ll see the standard body-colored spoiler that hovers over the striking tail, wide exhaust pipes, a black honeycomb rear diffuser, and dynamic LED taillights.
When you hop into your Volkswagen Jetta GLI and seal yourself in from the outside world, the first thing that hits you is luxurious seating, followed by the racetrack-inspired, leather-wrapped steering wheel. Upgrade to the Autobahn trim to add heating to your steering wheel.
The sleek, focused cabin pulls your attention to the road ahead, and the intuitive push-button start feature brings your 228-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine to life in a flash. You have two available transmission options: the six-speed manual, which harkens back to a proud rally and track heritage, or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, which offers refinement with a deliberate, sport-tuned edge.
The 2023 Volkswagen Jetta GLI was offered as a single configuration, but the new model year brings two dynamic trim levels. The new 2024 Volkswagen Jetta GLI 40th Anniversary Edition is a nod to the debut Jetta GLI and comes equipped with blackout exterior detailing, molecular-design cloth seats, and “GLI 40” logo badging throughout the cabin. Think of it as a collector’s item; there were only 1,984 models produced for the United States as a nod to the debut year of the Jetta GLI. Gunther Volkswagen Fort Lauderdale is proud to feature this limited-edition model.
Volkswagen Jetta GLI Autobahn trim level brings more premium benefits to the table: a panoramic sunroof, leather seating instead of cloth, ventilated front seats, Lane Assist, Travel Assist, heated, foldable, power-adjustable side mirrors with position memory and more. While both models boast heated front seats, the Autobahn has more luxury features and technology than the 2024 Volkswagen Jetta GLI 40th Anniversary Edition.
While you’re relishing the thrill of cruising in your Jetta GLI, you’ll also notice there are loads of premium features to enjoy:
The Titan Black interior is seductive, modern, and refined, offering a driver-centric feel with comfort for all occupants. Enjoy ambient lighting, dual-zone climate control, and wireless charging to stay connected and comfortable and create an in-car world that is all your own. Then, look into our new VW lease deals for extra savings on your dream sedan.

The VW Jetta GLI for the new model year only comes in front-wheel drive, which can be great for fuel economy compared to an AWD configuration. The 2024 Volkswagen Jetta GLI is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbo engine paired with either a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed DSG gearbox.

It has been speculated that the “GLI” stands for Grand Luxe Injection, but there is no official source available that confirms this. According to their website, VW automakers chose this name to designate this model as the sportier version of the Jetta car. Find out what sets it apart from the regular Jetta by test-driving a new VW Jetta GLI for sale for sale at our dealership today.
According to Car and Driver, the Jetta GLI 0-60 mph time is 6.1 seconds.3 Its sloped hood and sleek body help reduce air resistance while the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine achieves 228 horsepower at 5,000 revolutions per minute and a maximum torque of 258 pound-feet. In short, the Jetta GLI lives up to its reputation for satisfyingly speedy performance.
The 2024 Volkswagen Jetta GLI runs on regular unleaded gasoline and does not require premium fuel, which can be unusual for a turbocharged engine and represents the practical spirit of the sedan. If you drive a Volkswagen Jetta GLI, you’ll enjoy enhanced performance on the same gas budget as a regular Jetta model. This unique perk underscores the VW brand’s commitment to affordability and convenience.
