What's New for the 2027 Volkswagen Jetta GLI?
For the 2027 model year, Volkswagen has retired the six-speed manual gearbox, leaving the quick-shifting seven-speed DSG automatic as the sole transmission option. The latest Jetta GLI also gains an upgraded rear seatbelt reminder system to help keep every passenger safer on the road.
What Are the 2027 Jetta GLI Trims & Features?
Offered exclusively in the top-tier Autobahn trim, the Jetta GLI sets an athletic tone with aluminum pedals and a sporty, flat-bottom steering wheel. Tech highlights include an intuitive 8.0-inch HD touchscreen featuring wireless App-Connect for effortless smartphone pairing, a 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro instrument display, an eight-speaker premium audio system, and a wireless charging pad. Comfort remains a priority with standard heated and ventilated front seating.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2027 Jetta GLI Have?
At the heart of the GLI is a punchy 2.0-liter TSI turbocharged four-cylinder engine generating 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels via a crisp seven-speed DSG automatic. An Adaptive Chassis Control system lets drivers refine the ride-firming up the suspension for twisty roads or softening it for relaxed highway journeys across selectable Comfort, Normal, Sport, and Custom driving modes.
