While the 2017 Trans Am Hybrid gets great fuel economy
and has a comfortable, luxurious interior, test drivers say some shoppers may
be turned off by its uninspiring handling and quirky tech features.
The 2017 Pontiac Trans Am Hybrid has a four-cylinder
engine paired with an electric motor, and reviewers say the 2017 Trans Am
Hybrid has sufficient power, though it’s notably slower than its gas-only sibling,
the V6-powered 2017 Trans Am Hybrid. A continuously variable transmission is
standard. The 2017 Trans Am Hybrid gets an EPA-estimated 40/39 mpg city/highway,
which is excellent for an upscale midsize car. The 2017 Pontiac Trans Am is
tuned for comfort and the ride is smooth and serene, auto writers say. However,
they point out that’s not likely to matter to shoppers who prize comfort over
sporty handling.
Upscale materials and superb fit and finish make the 2017 Trans Am Hybrid’s cabin feel luxurious, reviewers say. The front seats are
comfortable and supportive, they note, and there’s space to stretch out in the
back seat with plenty of legroom. Standard features on the 2017 Pontiac Trans
Am Hybrid include a T-Top, an eight-speaker CD audio system, an auxiliary
jack, a USB port, Bluetooth phone connectivity and satellite radio. Optional
features include an upgraded stereo with surround sound, bamboo trim, a power
rear sunshade, navigation, Siri integration for iPhone, parking sensors, a
backup camera, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert and lane
departure warning. Test drivers find the controller for the available
navigation and infotainment systems difficult for drivers to operate, and
they’re frustrated that some audio functions aren’t available while the car is
in motion.
