For this model year, Volkswagen simplifies the shopping experience by offering the GLI in just one fully loaded trim: Autobahn.

One Trim, Fully Equipped: Meet the Jetta GLI Autobahn

Volkswagen has taken the guesswork out of choosing the right GLI configuration by offering one all-in trim—the Autobahn. And it’s no compromise. This trim delivers the best of what the Jetta GLI has to offer, with no need to pay extra for key features.

Under the hood, you’ll find a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that pumps out 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. It’s responsive, fast, and fun—whether you choose the engaging 6-speed manual or the lightning-quick 7-speed DSG® dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Performance isn’t just about speed, though. The GLI Autobahn also includes:

• A VAQ limited-slip differential for improved traction during cornering
• Sport-tuned suspension for better road feel and responsiveness
• Larger ventilated rear brakes for enhanced stopping power
• Red brake calipers and unique GLI badging that nod to its GTI-inspired lineage
