The IAS Griffin has long set standards in the automotive industry for comfort and safety. Many have considered all of our models to be overpriced and catered to customers with bottomless pits of money.
The Griffin SE is not like those descriptions; it is affordable, comfortable, stylish and safe. It doesn’t sacrifice driving dynamics for these either; maneuvering is easy and handling is predictable, due to our new front-wheel-drive design. This means, even in a slide, the vehicle is easily recovered.
Not only that, but the Griffin is economical too. With an all-new V6 design, it cuts two fuel-sapping cylinders out. Unlike most V6’s offered on the market today, this V6 is at an optimal 60 degree angle; leaving no trace of previous V8 heritage, because it is a clean-sheet design, offering optimal efficiency.
Combined fuel economy sits at 19.2 miles per gallon; a significant improvement over last-generation vehicle designs, most of which struggled to get double-digit numbers. This is achieved by using a new ‘electronic carburetor’, where digital computer systems control the workings of the carburetor to achieve maximum efficiency and performance, without the reliability issues of fuel-injected systems. This means the Griffin will be a reliable vehicle for many more years to come, all while being as light on your wallet as possible.
Not only the engine helps with fuel economy, but the car’s size and weight does too. It weighs in at only 2855lbs (1295kg), which significantly lessens the load on the engine to get it moving and keep it moving, improving fuel economy, while giving significant handling advantages too.
All this, and more, for a mere 16,000 AMU*.
*Dependent on trim level. 4.0 SE 16,000 AMU. 4.0 SEL 17,500 AMU. 5.5 SEL V8 19,000 AMU. 5.5 GSL V8 21,000 AMU. Contact dealer for more pricing and financing information.

Interior
The Interior of the Griffin SE
The IAS Griffin SE offers many features as standard in the interior.
The Griffin SE comes with a fully-digital clock illuminated by a liquid crystal display. Synchronised by quartz, it is guarranteed to tell you the right time at all times, as long as it receives power.
Along with that, the Griffin SE comes standard with a premium cassette deck. The ACR Trackmatic cassette deck has an advanced LCD display telling you the current radio frequency, the number of the track it’s playing, and comes with a switch to change the quartz clock in to the track length played.
As with almost all modern cassette players, it comes with AM/FM capability and can auto-reverse.
The backseats are equally as roomy and comfortable as the front seats, with all seats being covered in leather and coming with pockets to hold books, magazines and more. Armrests are provided to all occupants. Along with that, every seat is provided with a seatbelt*.
*Seatbelts are removed on show models to make photographing the seats easier.
Additional photographs
Additional photographs of the Griffin SE
Of course, many customers would want to see more pictures of the vehicle they might be purchasing. Fortunately, we provide such pictures for free.
This is a rear-view picture of the Griffin SE. Visible are the damage-resistant bumpers and trim, along with the twin-tip exhaust, allowing for optimal flow efficiency, and reducing emissions.
The vehicle is equally as stylish on the road as it is in the showroom. The attention to detail by our engineers and designers does not stop with the external looks only: to comply with federal regulations, the Griffin hood ornament has been designed to easily separate and leave no injuries if a pedestrian were to hit it, ensuring that not only you are safe in an accident, but others around you are too.
As mentioned previously, the Griffin remains stable and controllable, even during a slide. This photograph was taken in icy conditions to demonstrate the stability, vehicle being able to remain in this position without driver input for many more seconds, and being recovered by adding more power.
