could mean something, but i have no clue. For Honda, the DX, LX, EX have been said to mean "deluxe, luxury, and executive"...don't know how much truth is behind that, though.

"GL" stands for "grand luxury" - as opposed to "CL" - "conventional luxury."
the "I" at the end of the "GLI" stands for "internal" to indicate that it is, in fact, powered by an internal combustion engine.

Pretty sure GL stands for Grand Limited, GTi is for Gran Turismo Injection

I know they had a GL level for the Ford Tempo, but it wasn't as luxurious as the almight L trim level....

GLI Designation: Not Just a Name

Like its sibling, the Volkswagen Golf GTI, the Volkswagen Jetta GLI has a mysterious name. In many inventories, the Jetta GLI is listed separately from the Jetta (including ours). But why? What makes the Jetta GLI special over other significant high-level Jetta models, like the R-Line? Well, we’re here to explain it.

What does the GLI mean on a Volkswagen Jetta?

GLI Acronym Explained

Simply, it means “Grand Luxe Injection.” To the most people, that probably doesn’t mean a whole lot. Let us break it down. There are multiple steps to the historic Volkswagen naming conventions that help explain this:

  • L = Luxe This was the base model.
  • LS = Luxe Special This was the middle trim, with a few more features.
  • GT/GL = Grand Tourisme / Grand Luxe Focused on higher performance or more luxury, respectively.
  • GTI/GLI = GT Injection / GL Injection This originally meant that the vehicles had fuel injected engines.

Why Fuel-Injection Meant Performance

While all modern vehicles have fuel injection, this wasn’t originally the case. Fuel-injected engines produced considerably more power than their carburetor counterparts. This is because the fuel is sprayed directly into the engine cylinders with fuel injection instead of having to go through the carburetor first. So, GLI is a hold over from the old days when it meant much higher performance. The Jetta GLI still reflects that.

What It Means Today

The Jetta GLI uses the 2.0L TSI® turbocharged engine. TSI = turbocharged stratified engine. Basically, it uses technology refined in the TDI diesel engine, and applies it to regular gasoline vehicles. The result is more power and higher efficiency. Those benefits come at a considerably higher cost, which is why it’s not included on basic Jetta models. Take a more in-depth look at how the Jetta and the Jetta GLI differ.

Was bedeutet GL bei Golf?

Der Golf III ist in den Ausstattungsvarianten CL (Comfort Luxus), GL (Gehobener Luxus), GT (Grand Turismo), GT Special, GTI und VR6 erhältlich.

Was bedeutet GL bei Auto?

Für die Modellbezeichnung der SUV gilt: In Anlehnung an die legendäre G-Klasse führen alle SUV-Modelle künftig die Anfangsbuchstaben "GL" im Namen. Dabei bezeichnet das "G" die Abstammungslinie. Das "L" kommt in der Historie von Mercedes-Benz immer wieder vor.

Für was steht GTI bei VW?

Hinter dem Begriff versteckt sich die Gran Turismo Injektion, was auf Gran Turismo und damit sehr sportliche Fahrzeuge zurückzuführen ist. „Wenn heute von einem GTI die Rede ist, denken Autokenner unweigerlich an den VW Golf oder auch andere Modelle aus dem Hause Volkswagen. “

Wie viele Golf 2 Limited gibt es noch?

Nur 71 Exemplare sind von diesem Modell entstanden, das gut und gerne als der Urahn und Vorläufer des R32 von 2002 und der heutigen R-Modelle gelten darf. Lediglich der blau umrandete Kühlergrill und VW Motorsport-Plaketten geben einen zarten Hinweis darauf, dass es sich hier um einen ganz besonderen Golf handelt.
