Tap into gear
The GLI paddle shifters* give you more engine control and let you quickly and simply switch gears with both hands on the leather-wrapped multi-function sport steering wheel.

Lookin’ good
The black leather seats with red perforation, contrast stitching, and dark hairline red gloss trim look as cool as you’ll feel while sitting in them. Speaking of cool, the brushed stainless-steel pedals, black headliner, illuminated door sills, and leather gearshift knob prove are sure to impress everyone inside.
Brighten up
Brilliant LED headlights, tail lights, and daytime running light all come standard in the GLI. They light up the road beautifully for you without distracting the driver behind you.
