2026 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Specs
As a sports sedan, one of the most important aspects of the 2026 VW Jetta GLI for sale is its performance-focused powertrain. Under its hood is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, which is routed to the front wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. For commuters or drivers who don't want to operate a clutch pedal, a seven-speed automatic transmission is also available.
Both transmissions work with a VAQ limited-slip front differential lock for improved traction around corners, while a dynamic steering system delivers sharp, responsive handling for a more confident, engaging driving experience. All that power translates to quick acceleration, as Car and Driver recorded a Volkswagen Jetta GLI 0-60 time of 5.6 seconds.1
In addition to being an avid performer on the street and the track, the Jetta GLI doubles as a solid commuter. It achieves up to an EPA-estimated 26/36/29 MPG (City/Highway/Combined),2 which makes it an excellent companion for life's daily adventures.
The Jetta GLI can seat five adults comfortably and offers 93.9 cubic feet of passenger volume with a sunroof. The front-seat occupants are treated to ample space with 41.1 inches of legroom and up to 38.5 inches of headroom. However, the rear-seat passengers won't be cramped either, with 37.4 inches of legroom and 37.2 inches of headroom.
