As you roll through Fort Myers heading between the River District, the beach, the Edison Mall, work, and home, you need a new Volkswagen car that provides fine-tuned performance and style in a single package. At Volkswagen of Fort Myers, we showcase two fitting options with the new Volkswagen Jetta and the new Volkswagen Jetta GLI. Discover the difference of these two VW Jetta models at Fort Myers' Volkswagen destination, located south of the Bell Tower shopping mall and west of I-75.
Differences Between the VW Jetta & the VW Jetta GLI
Performance
A more commuter-friendly option for Fort Myers drivers, the new Volkswagen Jetta earns up to 42 highway miles per gallon on I-75 on the way to work, along with 31 miles per gallon through the River District. In comparison, the Volkswagen Jetta GLI earns 37 highway miles per gallon.
With more heart-racing power, the new Volkswagen Jetta GLI gives Fort Myers motorists the adrenaline rush they're searching for when departing the City of Palms Park baseball stadium or darting down I-75. A 228-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder direct-injection TSI® engine powers the VW Jetta GLI (258 pound-feet of torque), which comes with a standard 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed DSG® dual-clutch automatic Tiptronic® transmission for ultra-fast shifting.
Working with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the Volkswagen Jetta produces 70 fewer ponies through a 158-horsepower 1.5-liter turbocharged TSI® 4-cylinder engine delivering 184 pound-feet of torque. Large ventilated disc brakes give the VW Jetta GLI superior high-performance stopping power reaching a halt in the River District or on I-75 during rush hour.
Design
Both VW Jetta models provide Fort Myers drivers with 14.1 cubic feet of trunk space. The VW Jetta GLI rides on 18-inch alloy wheels, an inch larger than the 17-inch alloy wheels of the VW Jetta. With more striking style, the VW Jetta GLI has honeycomb designs for the grille and lower diffuser GLI, along with red accent lines and red brake calipers. Both new Volkswagen cars illuminate Fort Myers roads with LED Daytime Running Lights and LED taillights.
Tech
While both Jetta models feature wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ integration and Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Pro, the GLI gives Fort Myers motorists access to multi-directional G-forces through an exclusive Performance Monitor.
