Used 2023 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Sedan Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2023 Volkswagen Jetta GLI is available in a single trim level that clearly conveys the car's aspirations: Autobahn. As in the no-speed-limit, limited-access highways laced across Germany. A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (228 horsepower, 258 lb-ft of torque) revs from beneath the hood, and you can choose between a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (called direct-shift gearbox, or DSG). The Jetta GLI comes only with front-wheel drive.
Which Jetta GLI trim does Edmunds recommend?
Volkswagen offers the 2023 Jetta GLI in a single Autobahn trim level so, you know, that's the one we recommend. It is loaded up with equipment like an entry-luxury car, including digital instrumentation, heated and ventilated front sport seats wrapped in leather, a Beats Audio premium sound system and a panoramic sunroof. An optional Black package adds — you guessed it — black trim and black wheels.
