The 1996 Pontiac Trans Sport was a minivan produced by General Motors as part of their second-generation minivan lineup, which shared a platform with the Chevrolet Lumina APV, Oldsmobile Silhouette, and Buick GL. This second-generation design, introduced in 1990, brought several notable advancements, including a more aerodynamic body, a spacious interior, and a focus on fuel efficiency. The Trans Sport, known for its stylish exterior and practical interior, offered seating for up to seven passengers and a versatile cargo area, making it a popular choice for families and commuters alike. Power options included a 3.1L V6 engine and a 3.8L V6 engine, both mated to a four-speed automatic transmission.

The 1996 Trans Sport benefitted from several updates and refinements made throughout its production run. The 3.1L V6 engine received improvements for better performance and fuel economy, while the interior saw enhancements in terms of materials and features. Alongside its practicality, the Trans Sport offered a surprisingly sporty driving experience for a minivan, thanks to its well-tuned suspension and responsive handling. While the vehicle might not have been as powerful or luxurious as some of its competitors, the Trans Sport provided a practical and reliable transportation solution for a wide range of individuals and families. The 1996 model year further positioned the Trans Sport as a dependable and stylish minivan option in the competitive market.
