Ready for Summer Thrills in the 2025 Volkswagen Jetta GLI?

Summer driving season calls for a vehicle that matches your enthusiasm for the open road. The 2025 Volkswagen Jetta GLI answers with German-engineered performance that transforms ordinary drives into extraordinary adventures. With 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque at your command, this sport sedan delivers the perfect balance of excitement and refinement for those sun-drenched summer drives.

The Jetta GLI stands ready to enhance your warm-weather journeys with thoughtful features designed for maximum enjoyment. Its Rail2Rail power sunroof opens wide to let in refreshing summer breezes and starlit evening skies. Ventilated front seats keep you cool even when temperatures climb, while dual-zone climate control ensures everyone travels in personalized comfort. From coastal highways to mountain passes, the Jetta GLI turns every route into an opportunity for summer enjoyment.

Summer Performance That Excites

Summer roads deserve a responsive vehicle, and the 2025 Jetta GLI delivers with its turbocharged 2.0 TSI engine. Choose between the engaging 6-speed manual transmission for a pure driving experience or the quick-shifting 7-speed DSG automatic with paddle shifters for effortless control. Both options provide exceptional performance with impressive fuel efficiency: 8.0 L/100 km combined with the manual transmission and 8.2 L/100 km with the DSG automatic.

Dynamic Chassis Control adapts the suspension to road conditions in real time, providing the perfect balance between comfort and handling precision. The front differential lock enhances cornering ability, giving you confidence through winding summer roads. Progressive steering becomes more direct as you turn the wheel, creating a connected feeling between driver and machine that makes every summer drive memorable. With sports suspension calibrated for responsive handling, the Jetta GLI transforms ordinary summer routes into exciting driving experiences that engage all your senses.

The performance-bred braking system includes 340 mm ventilated front brake rotors and 300 mm solid rear brake rotors, all with distinctive red calipers. This stopping power provides confidence when you need it, allowing you to enjoy the GLI's acceleration knowing you can slow down with authority. Summer driving is all about balance—between power and control, excitement and composure—and the 2025 Jetta GLI masters this balance beautifully.

Summer Style That Turns Heads

The Jetta GLI's exterior design makes a statement at summer gatherings with its distinctive red GLI badging, honeycomb grille with red accent strip, and aggressive front bumper. LED reflector headlights with LED Daytime Running Lights illuminate early morning summer drives, while LED taillights with an illuminated rear light line create a distinctive signature after sunset. The exterior illuminated light line at the front adds a modern touch that distinguishes the GLI in any setting.

Choose from vibrant summer-ready colours like Monterey Blue Pearl or Kings Red Metallic, or opt for the sophisticated contrast of Alpine Grey with a black roof. For added visual impact, the available Black Package includes striking black exterior mirror housings and 18-inch Belvedere black alloy wheels that complement the GLI's athletic stance. The distinctive "GLI flitzer" on the fender announces this sedan's performance credentials to those in the know.

Inside, the summer theme continues with interior ambient lighting customizable in up to 10 colours to match your mood or the time of day. Grigio with Red Crust leather seating surfaces provide both comfort and style, while brushed stainless steel pedals and illuminated aluminum door sills add sporty touches throughout the cabin. The leather multi-function heated sport steering wheel with touch controls puts essential functions at your fingertips while maintaining an upscale appearance.

Summer Road Trips Made Better

With 399 litres of cargo space, the 2025 Jetta GLI accommodates all your summer essentials without compromise. Weekend getaways and day trips become more enjoyable with comfortable seating for five and heated outer rear seats for those cooler summer evenings. The 60/40 split-folding rear seats with centre armrest provide flexibility when you need to transport larger items while still accommodating passengers.

The Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Pro displays crucial information on a 10.25-inch configurable instrument cluster, while the 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system keeps you connected with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Navigate to new summer destinations confidently with satellite navigation, and keep devices charged with USB-C ports offering fast charging performance. The wireless charging pad for compatible devices eliminates cable clutter during your summer adventures.

Long summer drives become more enjoyable with the myVW mobile app with Car-Net connected vehicle services. With 4 years of Car-Net included, you'll have access to Remote Services with Remote Start (on automatic transmission models), Guardian alerts with Valet alert, DriveView, vehicle health reports, and Safe & Secure features with Automatic Crash Notification. SiriusXM satellite radio provides entertainment options for those long stretches of highway, ensuring your summer soundtrack never fades.

Summer Safety for Peace of Mind

Summer adventures should be carefree, and the Jetta GLI's 5-Star Overall Safety Rating provides reassurance for every journey. Travel Assist combines Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Assist to reduce driver fatigue on longer summer road trips, while Side Assist with Rear Traffic Alert monitors your blind spots when changing lanes on busy highways or backing out of tight parking spaces at popular summer destinations.

Front Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking and pedestrian detection helps prevent incidents in unexpected traffic situations, while Light Assist provides automatic high beam control for optimal visibility on dark country roads. The Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring System alerts you to potential issues before they impact your summer plans, and Hill Hold Assist prevents roll-back when starting on inclines.

The comprehensive airbag system includes front and rear Side Curtain Protection with front side airbags, providing protection for all occupants. The vehicle anti-theft alarm system with immobilizer adds security when your GLI is parked at the beach or trailhead. With the auto-dimming interior rearview mirror, even vehicles with bright headlights behind you won't disrupt your summer evening drive. Rain-sensing wipers activate automatically when summer showers arrive, allowing you to focus on driving rather than adjusting controls.
