The anniversary edition sports cosmetic changes, including '1984' badges.
The 2024 Volkswagen Jetta GLI is getting a limited-edition model to celebrate four decades of the sporty compact sedan, VW announced on Monday.
The 40th Anniversary Edition commemorates the 1984 launch of the Jetta GLI, which came one year after the U.S. launch of the first-generation. The two models have traditionally shared mechanical components, giving the GLI a reputation as a"GTI with a trunk." The reputation has lasted through the decades to the current version, which has been around since the 2019 model year.The changes are all cosmetic.
Interior changes include embossed seats, with a unique pattern for each vehicle produced, cupholders engraved with the GLI logo and"1984," seat tags and door sills with"GLI 40" badges, and a"40" badge on the steering wheel at the six o'clock position.The 40th Anniversary Edition is mechanically identical to the, meaning it's powered by a 2.0-liter turbo-4 producing 228 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque.
Volkswagen plans to start shipping 40th Anniversary Editions to dealerships later this summer. Production will be limited to 1,984 cars, referencing the GLI's launch year. Pricing starts at $28,085 before destination.
