Why it stands out

The 2023 Volkswagen Jetta GLI stands out because it blends everyday sedan practicality with the sharper character of a sport compact. Volkswagen gave it more aggressive exterior styling, including unique 18-inch alloy wheels and a blacked-out honeycomb grille with red accents, while also fitting sports suspension, a roughly one-centimetre lower ride height, a limited slip differential, and bigger brakes. The front brakes are the same as those found on the Golf R, which underlines how seriously the GLI takes its performance role.

It is also well equipped for a compact sedan. The 2023 model comes with a wide range of safety features, including blind spot monitoring and driver assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane keep assist. Under the hood is Volkswagen’s 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, paired with a standard six-speed manual transmission or an optional seven-speed dual clutch DSG. Power goes to the front wheels through a VAQ electronically controlled and torque-sensing limited slip differential, which helps give the car its composed, engaging feel.

The trade-off for that performance is a cabin that shows some cost-cutting. Hard plastics are used throughout the interior, and in Canada the only infotainment offering is an 8-inch touchscreen, although Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included. Even so, the Jetta GLI remains appealing because it delivers strong performance, useful equipment, and a manual transmission in a practical sedan body.
