To fight against other more athletic sedans, Volkswagen removed the chrome paint used on the normal Jetta and replaced it with a glossy black, while the headlights looked darkened. like the four-door Honda Civic Si and the Hyundai Elantra Sport, the new Jetta GLI will try to become a Golf GTI with a trunk. Under the hood is the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine developing 220 hp and 35.7 kgfm of torque, although it is possible that it uses the same GTI calibration in Europe with 230 hp.
Whatever the power of the engine, it will be equipped with the 6-speed manual transmission or the double DSG clutch and 7 positions. It would be logical for the torsion rear suspension of the standard model to be replaced by an independent multi-link, in order to improve its dynamics, in addition to receiving brakes and larger wheels.
The debut of the Volkswagen Jetta GLI will take place this week during the Chicago Motor Show. It is unclear what will be the offer of the Jetta 2.0 turbo in Brazil, since the Desconversa brand about its launch here. The manufacturer may decide to bring the sports version in the same way as in the United States, only changing the name of the version to not create problems with the Corolla GLi, or it may adopt some of its attributes ( in addition to motorization), with a totally different behavior. different.
