The 2006 Pontiac Pursuit was a compact sedan that marked a significant departure from Pontiac's traditional muscle car image. It was a rebadged version of the Chevrolet Cobalt, sharing its platform, engine, and drivetrain. This move was part of General Motors' strategy to diversify its offerings and cater to a wider audience, particularly younger buyers looking for a sporty yet practical vehicle. The Pursuit boasted a sleek and modern design, with aggressive styling cues that hinted at its performance potential. It featured a distinct front fascia with a bold grille, sharp headlights, and a sporty body kit. Inside, the cabin was functional and well-appointed, offering comfortable seating for five and a range of standard features, including power windows, locks, and mirrors, as well as an AM/FM stereo system.

The 2006 Pontiac Pursuit came equipped with a 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine, capable of producing 147 horsepower and 152 lb-ft of torque. This engine was paired with a five-speed manual transmission as standard, while a four-speed automatic was available as an option. The Pursuit offered a balanced blend of performance and fuel efficiency, making it a versatile choice for both city commutes and weekend adventures. However, it wasn't renowned for its exceptional handling or spirited acceleration, as the car's focus was more on affordability and practicality rather than outright performance. Despite its lack of high-performance aspirations, the Pursuit was a popular choice among young drivers and value-oriented consumers due to its striking design, comfortable interior, and reasonable price point.
