    Next Jetta GLI To Get Some GTI Infusion

      This could include the turbo 2.0L found in the GTI

    We know that Volkswagen is planning a high-performance GLI variant of the new Jetta that is expected in the near future. Thanks to Autoblog, we have gotten some interesting information about what we should expect.

    Speaking to a Volkswagen representative, Autoblog learned that the new GLI will feature a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder. It is expected to be the same engine found in the GTI which produces 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. There will be a choice of either a six-speed manual and a seven-speed dual-clutch. The representative also said the GLI would swap the torsion-beam rear suspension found on the standard Jetta for a multi-link independent setup.

    Expect to see the Jetta GLI make its debut during the next auto show season, possibly at LA or Chicago.

    yeah VW really punted on the design, it looks like Hyundai or something now.  Or a Ford Taurus / Sonata mashup.

    BUt, that means it will probably sell huge!  Plus it seems a little more exciting than a Cruze now too.

    The interior seems nice on this car.  I like the driver oriented dash.

    Even just offering a powertrain and this suspension setup should reward VW.  There is a huge lack of smaller cars with any performance ability nowadays and there's still folks that will prefer a sedan over the Golf type hatch.

    I'd like to see Chevy offer a 250hp Cruze.  Doesn't need to be a 9/10th car like a Focus ST.  But something like a GTi, chevy version.

      Ugly, big ugly All the signs of an imminent financial crash in America ICE and Home Land Security are two departments that now need to be closed due to incompetent leadership and clearly racist and illegal actions. Prosecute all who have broken the law and close these departments. Time to fold both of these duties into the FBI or one of the other agencies. ICE and CBP's aggressive tactics may have finally gone too far

      Overpriced for sure, from the folks around here who have the Ford Pickup trucks and Mach-e's people who own them love them. Price seems to be the major sticking point, and I can see it getting bad word of mouth due to the price, especially in the Midwest and south where average income levels are way below the average selling price. Be interesting to see what Ford does as they have announced their commitment to still move forward and build and use the Ford BlueOval EV campus in Tennessee.  I do not see the F150 Lighting being killed off as they have recently with the base core campus completed said the second generation of the truck which is supposed to move to 800V from the current 400V will start production in 2028 with the battery line at BlueOval City. This is a push back of 1 year as they will slow down production and keep current EVs for now as they build up profits with a renewed focus on ICE. https://fordauthority.com/2025/09/ford-blueoval-city-construction-completed-despite-ev-pickup-delay/ Ford delays mass production at BlueOval City in TN: What we know WOW, So much for being the state for Businesses to grow and employe people as they continue to lay folks off, and run a higher unemployment rate than the nation. Another round of mass layoffs slams Texas workforce
