The Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 were compact cars produced by General Motors from the 2005 to 2010 model years. The Cobalt replaced the Chevrolet Cavalier, while the G5 was a rebadged version of the Cobalt marketed under the Pontiac brand. Both vehicles were offered in sedan and coupe body styles, and featured a front-wheel drive layout. Known for their relatively affordable price point and fuel efficiency, the Cobalt and G5 appealed to a wide range of buyers, particularly young adults and families on a budget.
Under the hood, the Cobalt and G5 were powered by a variety of four-cylinder engines, including the base 2.2L Ecotec engine and the optional 2.4L Ecotec unit. The 2.2L engine offered a balance of power and fuel economy, while the 2.4L provided a noticeable increase in performance. Transmissions options included a five-speed manual, a four-speed automatic, or a five-speed automatic, depending on the model year and engine configuration. The Cobalt and G5 also offered a range of standard and optional features, including air conditioning, power windows and locks, and a CD player. While generally well-regarded for their practicality and affordability, the Cobalt and G5 were ultimately discontinued after the 2010 model year, as General Motors restructured its product portfolio in the wake of the global financial crisis.
