The Jetta’s Argentinian sister, the Vento, just launched in Puerto Madero and with its launch comes further proof that the Jetta GLI will launch at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
Although we already knew that the GLI was launching in the first quarter of 2019, and while we would have bet that a Detroit launch was likely, this is just another exhibit in the case for Detroit.
The information comes from Autoblog Argentina, which spoke to Jetta designer Jose Carlos Pavone at the event.
“I estimate that [Jetta] GLI could be presented in January, during the Detroit Show,” Pavone told Autoblog. “The sports version was specifically designed for the tastes of the North American market.”
Pavone went on to describe of the GLI’s sporty details.
“It will be much more aggressive and sporty, with some red lines, like the Golf GTi. It will also have specific design five-spoke wheels and black roof,” he explained. “Not painted black, like the previous Vento GLi. Here it will be black, but because it will have a panoramic sliding roof that will cover the entire top surface of the car. Inside it will have sports seats of specific design and some details in red, again like the Golf GTI.”
