In the year 1995, several engineering changes occurred to Grand Am models like the SE and GT. It includes the addition of variable-effort power steering as an option and rear suspension revisions aided to improve handling. This year's models also have a standard revised version of the 16-valve Quad 4 engine. GM also designed it to run smoother as they gave it two internal balance shafts that rotate in the opposite direction of the engines crankshaft to damp out most of the vibration. It will also have a horsepower that is rated at 150 with standard 5-speed manual.

 

The 1995 Grand Am goes with the optional features similar to the 94 editions. The cruise/speed control, power windows, leather seats, sunroof, transmissions and others that goes with the '94 can still be found optional to the '95s edition. The specifications also remain as it was in the '94, only the curb weight increased to 2,888 lbs. It also still goes with the standard safety features such as ABS brakes and the driver's air bag.

 

This year, General Motors recalled vehicles with starter assembly defects. This defect can result into fire in the car's interior in the event that the driver hold the key in the œstart position longer that needed because of the failure. As an answer, they've installed a relay kit to the vehicle and verified that it will start with a battery. However, the recall didn't cover battery replacements.
