The Vibe was redesigned, along with the Matrix, for the 2009 model year, and debuted at the December 2007 [[L.A. Auto Show]]. First deliveries to dealerships were posted on GM's Website in April 2008, with comments that initial sales were brisk. The first units were delivered to buyers in early March.<ref>{{cite press release|publisher=GM |url=http://archives.media.gm.com/servlet/GatewayServlet?target=http://image.emerald.gm.com/gmnews/viewmonthlyreleasedetail.do?domain=6&docid=44734 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120701174849/http://archives.media.gm.com/servlet/GatewayServlet?target=http://image.emerald.gm.com/gmnews/viewmonthlyreleasedetail.do%3Fdomain=6&docid=44734 |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 1, 2012 |title=GM Reports 282,732 Deliveries in March; 805,720 In First Quarter |date=April 1, 2008 }}</ref> "The new Vibe's design is sporty yet completely functional," according to Ron Aselton, chief designer. "Clean lines, minimal overhangs, and wheels pushed to the corners give the vehicle a muscular stance."

The GT trim and [[four-wheel drive|AWD]] options return, and two new [[straight-four engine]]s (Toyota's 2.4-liter [[Toyota AZ engine|2AZ-FE]] was also used on the [[Toyota Camry|Camry]] (and the 2005–2008 [[Toyota RAV4|RAV4]]) for the AWD and GT trims as well as optional on the base trim, and a new 1.8-liter [[Toyota ZR engine|2ZR-FE]] standard on the base trim) are offered.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/09/leaked-2009-pontiac-vibe/ |title=Leaked Officially Official: 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT |publisher= Autoblog |first=Alex |last=Nuñez |date=October 9, 2007}}</ref> This was also Pontiac's last new model and remained as the brand's only remaining car for the 2010 model year.

The second generation FWD Vibes also offered computerized traction control and StabiliTrak traction control.  Like the first generation, it offered anti-lock brakes. Rear disc brakes were standard on all models. Luggage racks were no longer standard order. Power output for the 1.8-liter was {{convert|132|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} while power output for the 2.4-liter was {{convert|158|hp|kW|abbr=on}} at 5600 rpm and {{convert|220|Nm|lbft|0|order=flip|abbr=on}} at 4000 rpm.

The Vibe offered {{convert|91.4|cuft}} of passenger volume (all seats up) and {{convert|20.1|cuft}} of cargo volume, for a total of {{convert|111.5|cuft}} with rear seats that folded completely flat. The cargo area was {{convert|30|in}} high and {{convert|40|in}} wide, which is large enough to accommodate a standard-sized, North American washing machine or clothes dryer with enough extra room for an appliance dolly.
