The 2026 Volkswagen Jetta GLI 2.0T Autobahn finished in Monument Gray with a contrasting Deep Black roof and a Grigio and Titan Black interior delivers a perfect balance of performance, refinement, and advanced technology. As the top trim level of the GLI lineup, the Autobahn is engineered for driving enthusiasts who want sporty dynamics without sacrificing everyday comfort. Power comes from the turbocharged 2.0L engine paired with front wheel drive, offering strong acceleration, confident handling, and the engaging road feel that defines the GLI name.

The exterior design is bold and athletic, highlighted by the GLI Black Package, black painted alloy wheels, black mirror caps, and the striking Deep Black roof that sets this sedan apart. Fully automatic headlights, auto high beam control, rain sensing wipers, and heated power mirrors add both style and practicality, while the power moonroof brings in natural light and fresh air at the touch of a button.

Inside, the Autobahn trim surrounds you with premium materials and driver focused details. Perforated Vienna leather seating surfaces, contrast stitching, and a power driver seat with memory create a refined yet sporty environment. Heated and actively ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and dual zone automatic climate control ensure comfort in every season. Paddle shifters mounted to the steering wheel enhance the driving experience, while a heavy duty trunk liner with VW CarGo Blocks adds everyday utility.

Technology is front and center with a touchscreen infotainment system featuring Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth® connectivity, USB ports, MP3 capability, and SiriusXM with 360L. The VW Premium Sound System with subwoofer delivers crisp, immersive audio, and steering wheel mounted controls keep everything within easy reach. Advanced safety and driver assistance features include Active Blind Spot Monitor, Adaptive Cruise Control with stop and go, exterior rearview camera, and an auto dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink Connect, all designed to enhance confidence on every drive.
