The GXP comes with the new 5.3L V-8 with Displacement on Demand technology, which regulates between eight- and four-cylinder operation to enable up to 12 percent improved fuel economy in certain light-load driving situations. The max horsepower rating of 303 can be reached immediately if required or requested.
Grand Prix was designed for customers who "enjoy driving and appreciate precision handling," so four-wheel independent suspension, with MacPherson struts, form the basis of the Grand Prix handling package. The rear independent suspension uses a tri-link coil-over-strut design with anti-roll bars specifically tuned to each model.
While performance might be the thing that first catches your eye on the Grand Prix, its practicality will grow on you as you drive it, or ride in it.
The rear doors swing up to a segment-leading 82 degrees, which makes it easier for people or parcels to enter.
Many large objects are easy to carry thanks to the standard 60/40 split-folding rear seats, the rear seat pass-through, and an extra-wide trunk opening. Items as long as 273 cm can be accommodated with the trunk closed when the available fold-flat front passenger seat is folded flat.
