The widebody GLI Efficiency thought began lifestyles as a 2022 Jetta GLI with a six-speed guide, however it’s so a lot more now. The fenders in any respect 4 corners had been widened by way of 0.8 inches with bottom vents at the entrance and rear. They’re paired up with better facet skirts, a customized entrance bumper and grille, and a customized hexagon-themed matte black vinyl wrap that transitions to the GLI’s manufacturing facility Kings Crimson Steel paint colour.
