We do have a hitch that will fit the 2021 Jetta GLI. It looks like the GLI has dual exhaust and the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 24978 is the only one that is compatible with it.
I like this hitch because it mounts behind the bumper. The only part of the hitch that is visible will be the 2" x 2" receiver. This helps with appearance and ground clearance for towing and accessories. The only drawback to this type of hitch is the installation is more difficult.
I have linked an installation video below that will help you understand the process.
If you are going to be towing with your Jetta you will need a wiring harness item # 119250KIT and a ball mount set up item # 3593 and then for hitch balls item # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or item # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.
