That the Jetta is among the most celebrated brands from Volkswagen is a highly accepted fact. The Jetta moniker is about to enter its thirtieth year of existence in US market and to celebrate this event, the German manufacturer is about to launch a new special variant of its high selling sedan. The upcoming variant is aptly named as Jetta GLI Edition 30.

The upcoming Volkswagen Jetta GLI Edition 30 will go on sale in two trims- one with a navigation system and one without it. While the pricing of both the models is yet to be announced, it is pretty much for sure that the two cars won’t be too far away from each other in term of prices.

The Jetta GLI Edition 30 will be powered by the existing 207bhp/210PS 2.0-liter TSI motor that can be bought with either a six-speed manual or a six speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The Jetta GLI Edition 30 brings along some new features such as – 18-inch “Laguna” aluminum-alloy wheels, red trim on the front grille, a boot spoiler and the quintessential special badging for the exteriors to announce the exclusiveness. The variant that will come equipped with a navigation system also gets red trim inside the Bi-Xenon headlights.

On the inside, the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta GLI Edition 30 will come with contrasting color V-Tex leatherette seats with red accents; red contrast stitching on the steering wheel, floor mats, shifter, brake lever, and armrests; carbon-look insers and Edition 30 kick sill plats.

    I own the 2013.5 GLI Autobahn and I see Edition 30's changes to be only cosmetic, also not making it look any better, but probably worse. I am a VW fanatic but these "laguna" wheels are not appealing to say the least. The current gen GLIs (Autobahn and Autobahn w/ Nav have stunning alloys and I have not been able to take my eyes off them since the moment I drove home this beauty of a car. There aren't any surprises in the powertrain department as well. I don't know if I should feel dissapointed with VW or be happy that my car looks a whole darn lot better than the supposed "Special Edition". *Feeling Bittersweet*
