Volkswagen has unveiled the 2016 Jetta GLI, the sedan equivalent of the Golf
GTI.
Equipped with a specially tuned sport suspension and 210 hp, 2.0-liter, TSI turbocharged and direct-injection EA888 four-cylinder engine, the GLI offers a compelling blend of value, performance and practicality.
For 2016, the GLI gets a bold new look highlighted by an aggressive front fascia that incorporates a honeycomb grille and foglights, along with a new rear bumper design that has a diffuser and a pair of chrome-tipped exhausts.
All 2016 Volkswagen Jetta GLI models have 18-inch Mallory design aluminum-alloy wheels, shod with standard all-season tires or optional summer performance tires.
The well-equipped base model sports LED tail-lights, Keyless access with push-button start, Climatronic automatic dual-zone climate control, a sunroof, six-way power driver seat, a rearview camera, front and rear Park Distance Control, the award-winning Fender Premium Audio System, rain sensing wipers, auto headlights, and heated seats.
A new standard feature on the 2016 Jetta GLI is Volkswagen’s Automatic Post-Collision Braking system.
This builds on the premise that a collision is rarely a single, instantaneous action, but rather a series of events that follow the initial impact—the most significant of which can cause additional collisions.
The Automatic Post-Collision Braking system addresses this by applying the brakes when a primary collision is detected by the airbag sensors, thus helping reduce residual kinetic energy and, in turn, the chance of additional damage.
