2023 VW Jetta GLI Compared to 2022 VW Jetta GLI 

The 2023 Volkswagen Jetta GLI carries on the proud lineage of the elite version of the storied Jetta hatchback. Mid-Michigan driving behind the wheel of the energetic and modernized Jetta GLI is an experience unlike any other. Compared to the 2022 version of the hatchback, the 2023 iteration has been given minor alterations to help keep the ride as modernized as possible. Thanks to the significant changes made to the 2022 model year GLI, fans will appreciate the knowledge that those improvements were well-received and carried over into the newest version of the vehicle.  

Performance 

The same dynamic 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that made its way into the 2022 model year Jetta GLI makes its return in the 2023 version as well. Sporting 228 horsepower to take full command of, every moment behind the wheel of the 2023 VW Jetta GLI is sure to be memorable. Both the standard six-speed manual transmission and the optional seven-speed automatic transmission make their return in the 2023 model year hatchback for reliably smooth acceleration. The FWD platform that the 2023 Jetta GLI rides on offers handling that Michigan drivers can trust.  

Interior Features 

For the 2023 Volkswagen Jetta GLI, drivers will be appreciative of all the modern amenities that have been brought over from the 2022 iteration of the hatchback. No matter what time of the year a driver plans on driving their deluxe hatchback, they can be confident in the comfort provided by the fully climate-controlled front seating. Ambient interior lighting enhances the experience in the hatchback as it can be adjusted to several different color options. Plenty of infotainment features make their return as well. An integrated Wi-Fi® hotspot through VW Car-Net® allows compatible devices to stay connected to the Internet all over the country. Smartphones can connect to the onboard infotainment system as well through mediums such as Bluetooth®, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.  

Safety Features 

As the deluxe member of the 2023 Jetta family, plenty of driver-assistance systems make their way back into the newest Jetta GLI. Front Assist is a combination of Forward Collision Warning and Automated Emergency Braking that every mid-Michigan driver will appreciate having at their command. The same is true with the combination of Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Blind Spot Monitoring to help keep the road behind the hatchback thoroughly monitored for potential approaching traffic. Drivers of the 2023 Jetta GLI that want to take it on long vacations will adore the return of the standard Adaptive Cruise Control system that the previous model year had as well.
