Year to Year Changes
1998 Pontiac Montana:
Front side airbags were installed in '98 models. Regular-length models could now be ordered with dual sliding side doors (previously optional only on extended-length minivans). Either model could also have the power right-side sliding door.
1999 Pontiac Montana:
Pontiac dropped the Trans Sport designation, naming all of its minivans Montana--the name of a popular option package in 1998.
2000 Pontiac Montana:
All Montana minivans now had dual sliding doors. The instrument cluster was revised, and all rear seats got child-seat tether anchors.
2001 Pontiac Montana:
Montana got a stowable third-row bench seat, power left-side rear door, standard OnStar assistance system, and a minor front and rear facelift for 2001.
2002 Pontiac Montana:
Pontiac's minivan got optional rear-obstacle detection, available all-wheel drive, and a DVD player for '02.
2003 Pontiac Montana:
Antilock brakes and front side airbags are now an option on the entry-level regular-length 1SV model; they remain standard on other Montanas.
2004 Pontiac Montana:
The Montan's 1SV model did not return in 2004. Also new this year is an optional MP3 player upgrade package.
2005 Pontiac Montana:
Pontiac's minivan drops regular-length and all-wheel-drive models for 2005. Montana will be reborn later in the model year as the Montana SV6, with SUV-inspired styling and a different V6. Montana shares its design with the Chevrolet Venture, which will be similarly recast as the 2005 Uplander.
