It was unveiled in November 2001. Powertrains available for this car are a Toyota-built 1.8 [[Liter|L]] [[Straight-four engine|straight-4]] [[Multi-valve|16-valve]] engine producing {{Convert|126|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} on the base model ([[Manual transmission|manual]] or [[automatic transmission]]), 118 [[Horsepower|hp]] on the [[all-wheel drive]] model (automatic only), or a version with [[VVT-i|VVTL-i]] producing {{Convert|164|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} for the GT (manual 6-speed only). The Vibe was at one time the most fuel efficient vehicle sold by GM in North America, but ceased to be the case with the revised [[United States Environmental Protection Agency]] testing procedures in 2008. Although the Vibe and Matrix are similar designs, the two brands actually use several different components, which are brand-specific, for their heating and air conditioning systems. These components include the air conditioning compressor and related hoses, the heater hoses, the heater core, and the serpentine belt. There were some minor changes between model years. The Vibe was first produced in 2002 and went on sale as a 2003 model. Power ratings for the first three model years were slightly higher, with the GT up to {{Convert|180|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}}, the base model rated at {{Convert|130|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}}, and the all-wheel drive model rated at {{Convert|123|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}}. Engine power claims were decreased for 2006 as a result of Toyota's retesting of its [[Internal combustion engine|engines]] for the new [[Society of Automotive Engineers]] (SAE) ratings standard. The GT and all-wheel-drive trims were discontinued for the 2007 model year due to poor sales and new federal emissions standards. The front fascia was freshened in the 2005 model year. In an attempt to 'converge' the [[Pontiac (automobile)|Pontiac]] look, the front grille was restyled to resemble the look of the [[Pontiac Solstice]], also adopted by other vehicles in the Pontiac line. The 2003-2004 Vibes had a front grille more closely resembling the [[Pontiac Aztek]]. First generation Vibe/Matrix/Corolla odometers do not have the ability to "roll over" 299,999 km or 299,999 mi. No recall or "fix" is currently available for this. Mileage must be kept track of manually until a solution is found.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.wheels.ca/news/odometer-dies-at-299999-km/|title=Odometer Dies at 299,999 km|website=wheels.ca|date=October 13, 2007}}</ref> <gallery widths="200" heights="133"> File:2003 Pontiac Vibe (First Generation) rear 4.6.18.jpg|Pre-facelift Pontiac Vibe File:Intérieur Pontiac Vibe 2007 Base.jpg|Pontiac Vibe interior File:2007 Pontiac Vibe -- NHTSA.jpg|2007 Pontiac Vibe </gallery> ===Toyota Voltz=== The {{nihongo|'''Toyota Voltz'''|トヨタ・ヴォルツ|Toyota Vorutsu|lead=yes}} is a five-door [[hatchback]] that was marketed by [[Toyota Motor Corporation|Toyota]] from July 2002 to March 2004 in its home market of Japan. Manufactured by NUMMI alongside the Vibe, the Voltz was exported to Japan in place of the Toyota Matrix. In Japan, the model line was exclusive to Toyota Japanese dealerships called ''[[Toyota Netz Store]]''. With the exception of badging and side mirrors, the Voltz shared its exterior with the Vibe, including its Pontiac-designed twin front grilles. In place of Pontiac's Arrowhead logo, the Voltz wears a stylized "V" insignia in-between the grilles and foldable side mirrors as opposed to non-foldable mirrors due to regulation. Along with the customary fitment of right-hand drive, the Voltz differed from the Vibe by sharing its interior design with the Matrix.
