Advantages of the 2021 VW Jetta GLI Compact Sedan

From the engine underneath the hood to the seats resting inside the cabin, the 2021 VW Jetta GLI compact sedan offers several advantages over its competitor, the 2021 Toyota Corolla. First, the Jetta GLI is significantly stronger in power when compared to the Corolla. Although the Corolla sedan does offer two different engines, neither one comes close to the 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque offered in every 2021 VW Jetta GLI.

Next, let’s take a look at the seats of each vehicle. You will find that both models come with soft cloth seats. However, the Jetta GLI offers leather while the Corolla offers leatherette. For year-round comfort, the Jetta GLI also includes standard heated front seats and available ventilated seats. The Corolla does offer available heated front-row seats but won’t be able to cool its passengers as effectively as there are no ventilated front seats available. Additionally, you will notice that the Jetta GLI offers extra convenience at every trim level with its standard keyless access and push-button start technology. Corolla drivers will need to upgrade their trim and pay more money in order to enjoy this same feature.

As you know, this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to specs and features for the 2021 Volkswagen Jetta GLI. For more information, visit us at Sheehy Volkswagen of Springfield or connect with our team online or by phone. We hope to hear from you soon!
