2014 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Edition 30

2014 marks the thirtieth anniversary of the Jetta GLI’s launch in the United States. To mark the occasion, Volkswagen has created a couple of special versions fittingly called the Edition 30 and Edition 30 with Navigation.

In addition to the usual performance-orientated GLI specification, both feature a red trim strip along the bottom of their grilles, larger 18” ‘Laguna’ alloy wheels and a boot lid spoiler.

On the inside, the sports seats are upholstered in V-Tex leatherette with red accents. The Edition 30 specification also includes carbon-effect trim pieces, lots of red stitching, floor mats and unique doorsill plates.

Mechanically things are unchanged, which means power comes from a four-cylinder, turbocharged, 2.0 litre engine that produces 210 bhp (156 kW / 212 PS). Buyers can opt for either a six-speed manual or a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The Jetta GLI Edition 30 models go on sale early next year in the United States. Prices have yet to be confirmed.

Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
