The #Volkswagen #Jetta #GLI has always been a bit lacking compared to the Golf GTI. For this seventh-generation 2019 model, VW is attempting to change that. For the first time ever, the GLI and GTI ride on the same platform and utilize the same 2.0-liter turbocharged engine producing 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Power goes out to the front wheels through a standard six-speed manual or optional seven-speed manual, which are both offered on all three trim levels.

The Base S trim starts at $25,995 while a DSG-equipped Autobahn trim tops out at $29,995, which is around $6,000 less than a top-trim GTI. You do lose some features that are available on the GTI including bolstered sport seats, adaptive cruise control, and navigation. Crucially, the GLI finally drives as well as the GTI and for some, the more affordable price tag will be worth it.
