The 1996 Chevrolet Caprice is a full-size sedan that marked the end of an era for the iconic nameplate. While its immediate predecessors offered a choice between a six-cylinder or a powerful V8 engine, the 1996 Caprice exclusively featured the robust 5.7-liter LT1 V8, known for its smooth power delivery and impressive torque. This engine, also utilized in the Chevrolet Corvette of the same period, produced 260 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque, making the Caprice a surprisingly spirited cruiser. The 1996 Caprice retained its classic rear-wheel-drive platform, providing a balanced and comfortable ride experience. The exterior, though sharing many design cues with earlier iterations, incorporated subtle updates to the grille and bumpers, giving it a more modern look.

The 1996 Chevrolet Caprice was renowned for its spacious and comfortable interior. Its generous cabin accommodated up to six passengers, offering ample legroom and headroom. This, combined with its plush seating and ample cargo space, made it a popular choice for families and individuals seeking a substantial and comfortable vehicle. However, the 1996 Caprice was also the last year of production for the model in the United States. The decision to discontinue the Caprice, along with the Buick Roadmaster and the Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser, was driven by changing consumer preferences and the rising popularity of SUVs and minivans. As such, the 1996 Chevrolet Caprice stands as a final testament to the enduring legacy of the nameplate, embodying the classic full-size sedan that was a staple in American automotive history.
