Designed exclusively for Volkswagen, the Fender Premium Sound system is embedded in the automobile design and features proprietary Panasoni
speaker technology. The system covers the cabin with directional sound from door speakers that generate imaging beyond the capabilities of traditional speaker designs. It cuts through the noise and other distractions with front dual voice coil speakers, with extended range for those musical genres.
The sound system features lower inter-modulation distortion and smooth mid-range reaction to eliminate harshness. It is harmonically complex, with extended range tweeters and properly voiced 16cm speakers revealing original instrumentation timbre and harmonic richness, bringing the raw emotion of live music to the driving
experience.
Exterior
The Jetta GLI combines performance, space and luxury in one sleek package. At 182.2 inches long, 57.2 inches tall and 70 inches wide, it is a lot more than 2.9 inches longer than previous Jetta models.
The front end of the car is defined by prominent horizontal lines. The Jetta GLI grille and the car’s trapezoidal headlights help produce a distinct look. Below the bumper is really a cooling air intake and tray-shaped front spoiler that completes the masculine look of the car. Top of the front end section shows a powerful transition from the v-shaped engine hood towards the fenders about the sides while the shoulder section provides dynamic and muscular styling.
The aggressive styling from the Jetta GLI is powerfully emphasized through the arches from the wheel wells available with 17” or 18” alloys. Sleek lines and sporty shoulders dominate the rear section. The smoked taillights stick out with two distinct sections extending on either side from the fender to the tailgate above the dual exhaust tips.
Interior
Such as the exterior, the interior from the Jetta GLI stays true to its sport and gratifaction roots. Featuring sport bucket seats with red stitching and a sport flat-bottom controls with red stitching, the GLI logo and aluminum accents, the inside styling consistently follows the clean, sporty lines from the car. The Jetta GLI will come in cloth or V-Tex Leatherette and also features sleek alloy pedals, shifter, dash and door trim.
Intuitive controls and well-arranged instruments allow drivers to savor a comfortable and ergonomically designed gear shift grip. Further up on the middle console are the newly designed and intuitive controls for climate and radio. The console can also be slightly inclined toward the motive force to heighten comfort behind the wheel.
To increase versatility, the rear bench seatback is split 60/40 and folds. The trunk can also be opened from the car by a remote unlock switch.
Safety
The Jetta GLI includes several features made to enhance driver and passenger safety including electronic stability control, tire pressure monitoring and Volkswagen’s advanced Intelligent Crash Response System, which initiates automatic safety protection in some kinds of collisions – the electrical power towards the fuel pump is turn off, the doors unlock and the hazard lights turn on.
Included in the equipment package, the Jetta GLI also features driver and front passenger airbags, side airbags in front and Side Curtain Protection airbags in-front and rear.
