Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1979 Phoenix.
The 1979 Pontiac Phoenix Electric represents Pontiac’s early foray into battery‑powered motoring, pairing the Phoenix’s distinctive coupe‑body architecture with a dedicated electric propulsion system; this makes it a noteworthy entry in the brand’s platform lineage. As the sole electric variant of the Phoenix line, its 1979 model year situates it at the very beginning of the vehicle’s reliability narrative, marking it as a pioneering yet relatively untested chapter in Pontiac’s automotive history.
