2009 Pontiac Vibe Overview

Introduction

The Pontiac Vibe is popular for its combination of sporty styling and five-door hatchback functionality. For 2009, this versatile performer has been redesigned, with interior and exterior enhancements, more power and available all-wheel drive.

The 5-passenger Vibe is available in two front-wheel drive trims (Base and GT) and one all-wheel drive trim (Base). A 132 hp 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine is standard on front-wheel drive Base trims, and is paired with either a 5-speed manual or an optional 4-speed automatic transmission. A 158 hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is standard on GT and all-wheel drive trims, and available for the front-wheel drive Base trim. The 2.4-liter engine is paired with either a 5-speed manual or optional 5-speed automatic transmission with Driver Shift Control on front-wheel drive Base and GT trims, and a 4-speed automatic transmission on the all-wheel drive trim. All Vibe trims are equipped with 16-inch wheels, automatic headlight control, satellite radio and a CD player; GT trims add a rear spoiler, 18-inch alloy wheels, upgraded audio and exclusive leather-accented upholstery. Standard safety features include electronic stability control, traction control, anti-lock disc brakes, six airbags and a tire pressure monitoring system.

The redesigned 2009 Pontiac Vibe is based off of the redesigned 2009 Toyota Corolla platform.
