2023 VW Jetta GLI vs. 2022 VW Jetta GLI

The 2023 Jetta GLI maintains the excellent everyday driving feel of its 2022 counterpart. This makes the sedan a great choice for Northern Colorado trips in any season. While much of the 2023 Jetta GLI has been kept unchanged from its previous model year, there is plenty to love about the new version of the sedan. As such, interested Boulder residents will adore what innovations have been made to the new edition of the Volkswagen mainstay.  

Performance 

The 2022 Jetta GLI introduced a turbocharged 1.5L four-cylinder engine as the standard powertrain. This is brought back for the 2023 version of the Volkswagen. This means drivers get to have 228 horsepower of on-demand performance for enjoyable trips all around Northern Colorado. When coupled with either the six-speed manual transmission that comes standard or the available seven-speed automatic, the performance in the sedan is catered for everyday driving needs. FWD handling ensures that even when road conditions get a bit more difficult, drivers can be confident their vehicle is actively working with them to maintain appropriate levels of grip on the driving surface.

As the 2022 model of the Volkswagen Jetta GLI got its significant overhaul, the 2023 version of the sedan keeps these welcome changes. This includes all the exterior improvements made to the sedan. Inside the 2023 Jetta GLI, many premium amenities have been retained as well. Features such as customizable ambient lighting and front seating that is fully climate-controlled for all-season comfort give the Jetta GLI magnificent all-around appeal.

Occupants with compatible Internet-capable devices will appreciate the integrated Wi-Fi® hotspot giving them reliable Internet access all over Northern Colorado.
