1982 Pontiac Grand Prix

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1982 Grand Prix.

Engine Electric

The 1982 Pontiac Grand Prix Electric is the electric-engine variant of Pontiac's Grand Prix for that model year, with its electric powertrain as the defining mechanical feature. Because it is a 1982 model, it predates the documented complaint history for the Grand Prix line, which covers 1990 through 2008 and records a high of 859 complaints in 1997 and a low of 102 in 1996. That placement means researchers must assess this vehicle's reliability outside the bounds of that later dataset.
