The Pontiac G4 (Mexico) / Pontiac Pursuit (Canada) is a compact car introduced by Pontiac in 2004 for the 2005 model year. The G4/Pursuit is intended to compete with Japanese cars like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla.

It is available as both a coupé and sedan and is based upon the GM Delta platform, along with the Chevrolet Cobalt, Chevrolet HHR, Saturn ION, and European Opel Astra.

The front suspension is independent with MacPherson struts, while a semi-independent torsion bar is used in the rear. The wheelbase is 103.3 in (262.4 cm), longer than its competitors, and the width is 68.4 in (173.8 cm). Weight is high at 2808-2989 lb (1273-1355 kg), and overall fuel economy is 23 mpg (10 L/100 km). The car is notable for its use of electrical, rather than the conventional hydraulic, power steering.
