The Pontiac Vibe is a compact 5-seater SUV co-created by General Motors and Toyota. The debut took place at the 2002 Detroit Auto Show. The model received an unusually stylish and fashionable name for the Pontiac brand - Vibe (short for "vibration"). The sporty, athletic features of this car are brought to perfection. The dynamic appearance is enhanced by the standard 16-inch light-alloy wheels (17- and 18-inch optional). Most importantly, the designers managed to preserve the family traits of the Pontiac family: the branded radiator grille, the stylistic solution of the fap and other little things. When developing the design, the creators paid special attention to the tail section. The license plates, for example, were decided to be inserted not into the rear bumper, but into the tailgate.
Polished aluminum was used in the interior trim. The instrument panel is made in the traditional Pontiac style with "recessed" instrument scales and red illumination of the scales (in the dark). The use of chrome in the interior and instrumentation creates a "modernist retro" style, as Pontiac designers themselves call it. Vibe GT interior versus standardthe model is complemented by the trimmed steering wheel and transmission knob in imitation leather. (Interestingly, the Pontiac Vibe does not offer the luxury of using real leather in the cabin, even as an option.) The gear lever, whether manual or automatic, is positioned far ahead - practically in the dashboard - to create additional space for legs.
Pontiac engineers made the interior of this model very flexible and transformable. The backrest of the front passenger seat converts into a small tableor a place to place additional luggage. It can be folded with one movement of the lever. The rear seats fold forward and "go" into the floor without the need to first fold back the soft cushions, which is very convenient. When all the seats are folded except the driver's seat, the Vibe can safely accommodate loads up to 2.5 meters in length. Among other things, there are many hangers, hooks and shelves in the car interior. A roof rack is standard. Vibe monocoque body, transverse arrangement of the power unit, independent suspensionand all wheels, front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, indicate good driving characteristics, designed mainly on asphalt roads.
Under the hood, the Vibe comes standard with a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder DOHC with 130 horsepower. The sports version of the GT offers a 1.8l / 180hp engine. with variable ignition system VVT-i and 6-speed manual transmission. All-wheel disc brakes and ABS are standard on the GT. It is noteworthy that the 130-horse version can optionally be equipped with all-wheel drive, but morethe powerful Vibe GT is exclusively front-wheel drive.
There are two front and (optional) two side airbags, a Monsoon stereo system with a 6-disc CD changer built into the dashboard, a navigation system on DVDs, etc. The basic equipment also includes an air conditioner, but an electric drive for windows goes already for an additional fee.
The car is assembled at the joint (Toyota Motor and GM) NUMMI facility in California in parallel with the single-platform Corolla X model. Stylish, youthful appearance, practicality, excellentNy equipment, impressive performance - all this allows the Vibe to be a worthy competitor in its class.
General Motors is currently working on the 2009 Pontiac Vibe. No technical specifications are known yet, but the new generation will definitely have significant technical changes.
