Released in 1984, the Volkswagen Jetta GLI will celebrate its 40th birthday when it enters the 2024 model year. The Wolfsburg-based brand is commemorating the occasion with a limited-edition model called 40th Anniversary Edition that features specific accents inside and out.
Buyers have three paint colors called Pure Gray, Pure White, and Rising Blue to choose from. Regardless of which shade you pick, the GLI 40th Anniversary Edition gains black exterior trim, "GLI 40" emblems on the fenders, and black-painted 18-inch wheels.
The cloth upholstery was designed specifically for the 40th Anniversary Edition, and the pattern on the seats will vary from car to car. Volkswagen compares it to a "one-of-a-kind fingerprint." There's also a "40" emblem on the steering wheel's lower spoke, "GLI 40" written on the seat tags and on the door sills, and "GLI 1984" lettering added to the cupholder tray. The standard car's red interior accents remain.
