The 2027 Volkswagen Jetta GLI carries the compact sport sedan forward with one notable change under the shifter. This is a light update following the GLI's recent refresh, so the quick, well-balanced GLI keeps its turbocharged power and premium feel while streamlining how you drive it. Here is what is new, what is changing, and what carries over as you shop the GLI at Kunes Auto Group in Delavan, Wisconsin.

What's New for 2027

The headline for 2027 is that the GLI Autobahn is now automatic-only. Volkswagen drops the six-speed manual, so every GLI comes with the quick-shifting seven-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic with paddle shifters and launch control. It is a change purists will note, but it makes the GLI quicker to launch and easier to live with day to day, while keeping the sporty driving experience intact.

What's Changing This Year

The lineup stays simple, with pricing holding near its recent level. The Jetta GLI continues as a single, well-equipped Autobahn trim starting at $33,795 MSRP (before a $1,325 destination charge), which keeps it one of the more affordable ways into a genuine sport sedan. Confirm current pricing and availability with the team at Kunes Auto Group.

What's Carrying Over

The GLI's performance hardware carries over. It continues with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four making 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, driving the front wheels through the seven-speed DSG, with a sport-tuned suspension, a limited-slip differential, and larger brakes that set it apart from the standard Jetta. The aggressive styling, sport seats, and tech-forward cabin from the recent refresh all carry forward, so the 2027 GLI stays a rewarding, everyday-usable performance bargain.
