The 1996 Pontiac Grand Prix was a mid-size coupe that marked a significant departure from its predecessor, both in terms of styling and engineering. The fourth generation of the Grand Prix, which debuted in 1993, featured a sleek, aerodynamic design with a more pronounced wedge shape compared to previous models. This generation was riding on GM's new W-body platform, which offered a more refined driving experience and improved handling characteristics. The Grand Prix was available in a range of trim levels, including the base SE, the sporty GT, and the luxurious GTP. All models were powered by a 3.1L V6 engine as standard, with a 3.8L V6 option available on the GT and GTP. The 3.8L V6, known as the "Series II" engine, produced a respectable 200 horsepower, making the Grand Prix a potent performer for its time.

The Grand Prix's interior was equally impressive, boasting a well-appointed cabin with comfortable seating and a user-friendly dashboard layout. Key features included an optional driver-side airbag, rear disc brakes on the GT and GTP, and a standard anti-lock braking system on all models. A notable feature for the time was the optional Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation system, which added a new level of convenience and functionality. The 1996 Grand Prix was a popular choice among buyers seeking a stylish and reliable mid-size coupe with a touch of sportiness. Its sharp styling, powerful engine options, and comfortable interior made it a compelling package for both daily driving and weekend adventures. The 1996 Pontiac Grand Prix marked a successful evolution for the nameplate, establishing itself as a capable and desirable offering in the competitive mid-size coupe segment.
